UCHE's account is summarized as thus

On the 31st of June 2017 after coming to school to get his manual being shared, he went home and got ready for a regional vigil by RCCG at sapele road, Benin city. He got on a bus with about 5 others who were his local church members.
After the vigil on the 1st of July, the next morning, he and his church members got on the bus and headed back home. Prior to their departure, church Faithfuls who had vehicles were appealed to by the regional head to help others who didnt have adequate transportation. As Christians UCHE and his group thought it laudable to help. The bus was full to capacity when they departed The vigil camp. According to UCHE, he was tired so he folded his arms and tried to sleep. He was woken from sleep when the bus was almost hit by a trailer. After the driver had carefully averted that, he returned to his much needed rest. He was however startled out of sleep when he heard a cry from someone behind the bus shouting ​"blood"​. A friend sitting at the extreme right of the last row of the bus with an injury to the left part of his head was discovered alter the person sitting next to him (Not uche) found a phone stained with blood on the floor. The injured fellow was immediately rushed to Central Hospital but were redirected to UBTH where he unfortunately gave up the ghost after much attempt by the medical team.

Note: 1)that some of the passengers alighted before and at ring road.
2) UCHe, his pastor, the driver and the other church members did not report any of this to the police until a complaint was written. The driver particularly washed his bus and did as if nothing happened.

The parents of the deceased grieved and not understanding the circumstance of their son's death went to BDPA police station and filed a complaint. UCHE and the 5persons from his church including the driver and pastor were invited and put in a holding cell to answer some questions. They were moved to another police station for safe keeping until they ended up in the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID). It was considered homicide until today when the autopsy reports came in indicating murder.

Note: The commissioner of police told us that According to the LAW, the police has no jurisdiction for a murder case. litigation is the next step. Only The director of public prosecution (DPP) and the law court have such jurisdiction to dismiss, discharge or acquit a murder suspect which UCHE is unfortunately as there is no prime suspect. However There is another way out which is to go into settlement with the complainants so that the case is considered to be ​"no case."​No case, no trial.

I know emotions are high but you will agree that the account and case is complicated so we have to think everything through properly. We have to make informed decisions at this critical time.

There are some gray areas
1) why was the deceased the only one injured?
2) why did he shout or cry out in pain?
3) is it possible he had the injury before entering the bus?
4) why didn't they especially the driver report to the police something that serious?
5) why isn't there a cue of a sharp object in the bus that might of caused the injury as claimed?
6) why can't the deceased said blood stained phone, his Bible and shoes missing up till now?

Lalasticlala please help this ministry

Even in the other story, I kept wondering what caused the guys injury since the accident was averted? Cos it doesn't make sense, someone may have stabbed him or something. The religious zealots invaded that thread so I had to mind myself before I am tagged an unbeliever

Shedding light on that grey area MAY be the key to unravelling the case

Don't blame the parents thou, you gotta be double sure he died of Natural cause(s).

You can't keep detaining someone you don't have any evidence against.
It is okay for the police to label them suspects but they cannot justify detaining them for this long.
I don't blame Nigerians when they refuse to help strangers because our police are a bunch of opportunistic folks who try to make money out of every issue.
What if they all alighted from the bus like others without showing any concern and the driver dropped the injured passenger by the road side and zoomed off? Will the police have had any 'suspect' to detain?
Our police force need to wake up and stop behaving like vigilantes.

uhmmmm.,.... God will shine his light on the matter. it's confusing jarey!

My friend,stop all this .
That guy most likely bled from a blunt trauma, which is common from an averted accident where for instance, a person hits is abdomen, chest or head on a seat or an iron bar on a bus.
This kind of trauma will not cause obvious injury but "internal injury".

Combined with the head injury they saw ,it is safe to say the guy died of a concussion as well.If a person hits his head on a window, there will be no blood anywhere,but an injury has definitely occurred.

As the OP said the bus stopped in central hospital,isn't it possible his shoes and phone was stolen by "helpers"?and the bible left in the hospital as well?

I hate Nigerians like this OP. Seeing the truth but obviously being emotional.it is so wrong to detain this guy

Mysteries of Benson street.

Let's see.

To me the passengers that got down @ringroad should be invited if only they had their identities.

They should have actually noticed when the jerking started or near fisticuffs especially by those that sat beside the victim.

Or was there a quarrel in that bus or among the added passengers that later came on board.

It's is very much easier to rattle this issue if our niggas political police force practice DNA technics from the so called recovered funds.

What was the result of the autopsy?

This story is just as fishy as the one Osinbanjo told reporters upon return from visiting Buhari in London.


It doesn't add up..
Unless the boy murdered himself to set Uche and co. up.
This doesn't make sense either


So the police are on the right track.
Uche, the driver and the people who rushed him to the hospital should be given the same torture Evans received that made him sing like a liberated Canary .

I don't trust these pastors
I don't trust these young boys
I don't trust the city where this event happened.

If you've ever visited that town, you'd know that every young boy is groomed to want to have his own '4-flats' and Toyota Venza before getting to 23years by any means necessary.
You might even see the anointed girl who led praise and worship in the last Sunday service being bathed at the Ikpobha river by a priestess.
Anything is possible in that city!!!


Just in case Uche is innocent, he will be vindicated and set free.

And this should serve as a deterrent to overzealous students who have forgotten their only reason in school is to study and bring back a certificate and not being church/fellowship recruiters and religious fanatics.

Nigerian police are mad

Which kind wahala be this,
Na so person dey carry loss o

Hmm.. Speechless how can a guy get an injury just like that and his blood stained phones, bible and the rest a missing, i smell something fishy.

31st of June?

.

stupid police,always looking for someone to incriminate to show they are working

Attack the subject and not the OP
question 1.why didnt uche and his team report to the church,telling them what happened in the bus?

Question 2,why didnt the driver or anyone else report the case to the police,cleaned up the car and resumed their daily life as if nothing happened?

Question 3.if you were the parent or relatives to the victim,would you let the case die without any proper investigation?

We shouldn't be clouded by religious sentiment and tackle every issue according.
this story was fabricated and the suspects need more questioning

It is very possible that the deceased may have smashed his head on something maybe on the sudden brake of the bus on encountering the trailer. What are the odds that somebody enters a bus bleeding and nobody takes note?

However,

Why didn't any of them report the incident?? For something as grievous as a death to have happened and those that witnessed it all kept quiet, they become accomplices one way or the other.

This is just one analogy.. All those that witnessed the crime and did nothing shouldn't go off lightly. In saner climes, people report break ins and burglary attempts. So much for people coming from a religious gathering.

this is serious

This is the reason I don't give lift, except to people I know very well. God will help him. Nigerian police taking advantage of every situation even when they know of the truth.

There's something suspicious about this case. Something this serious cannot just be swept under the carpet. Why was the case not reported to the police immediately afterwards. Why is the dead guy`s phone, bible and shoes missing? So many unanswered questions.

Abeg hunger wan finish me my brother no dey house any female in the house make she teach me how to cook rice. Thanks

From night vigil to prison. If we had told him to stay back that night and read his books them for say na we be devil. The ills of Church and Religion, today RCCG is no where to be found in the matter, all man for himself. Thats just the way it is, thats the truth.

I will only blame Uche and the Driver for not reporting the incident to the police.

But Op, there is No clear proof that Uche is responsible. The victim could have sustain the injury during the averted accident.

And what of those that already alight? they are suspect too.

And to think the autopsy conclude it as Murder is fishy.

No one is saying, the police shouldn't carry out investigations, but detaining an innocent person is wrong! if he's consider as a suspect, they should at least release him on bail & allow him write his exams.

To help now, Na wahala for this county.

May God have Mercy!.

Tell them, my brother. If one had said that to him, he would have called one the devil trying to tempt him and prevent him from taking his destiny from his enemies who have been sitting on it since he was born.

Papiikush:

Autopsy?

The Nigerian police are too dumb for that.

not true tho .we perform autopsy for the police often

Papiikush:

Autopsy?

The Nigerian police are too dumb for that.

The article clearly says an autopsy was carried out. And the Police don't do autopsies themselves.

mmm
