According to Amnesty International: "Fifteen-year-old Emmanuel Egbo was extrajudicially executed by a police officer in Enugu in September 2008. According to eyewitnesses, he was playing with other children in front of his uncle’s house when a police officer stopped to chat to the children. Two other police officers joined him; one of them pulled out his gun and shot the boy, claiming he was an armed robber. Eyewitnesses confirmed that Emmanuel Egbo was unarmed. The NGO Civil Liberty Organization wrote two petitions and his relatives visited the police station numerous times. After several visits, the family found out that the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) had moved to a new post. “The police officer told us that the boy was an armed robber and the case had been closed. It was a nightmare to us to learn of this development.” In August 2009, the family discovered that Emmanuel Egbo’s body had disappeared from the mortuary; as of November 2009, the body is still missing." ^[+]
