[IGBO History & Facts @IgboHistoFacts]

Exactly 21 years ago today, five Igbo traders, along with their female friend, were brutally murdered in cold blood by men of the Nigerian Police Force led by then-DCP Danjuma Ibrahim at a police checkpoint on Gimbiya Street, Area 11, Garki, Abuja, after the female victim turned down the romantic advances of the senior police officer at an evening gathering in the city.

The names of the five Igbo traders were:

(1) Ifeanyi Ozor
(2) Chinedu Meniru
(3) Anthony Nwokike
(4) Paulinus Ogbonna
(5) Ekene Isaac Mgbe, and
(6) Augustina Arebu, the only female victim and fiancée of Ifeanyi Ozor.

All six were traders at the Apo Auto Spare Parts Market, Abuja.

They were killed after DCP Danjuma made romantic advances to the only lady among them, Augustina (Tina) Arebu, at an evening gathering, which she rejected. A minor disagreement reportedly ensued, and the officer immediately stormed out of the gathering to the nearby police checkpoint on Gimbiya Street, where he told the policemen on duty that he had sighted a gang of armed robbers.

When the Apo Six drove to the checkpoint, Officer Danjuma reportedly blocked them with his vehicle and ordered the junior policemen on duty to open fire on them.

"Obey my last order," Danjuma reportedly shouted. "Shoot them! Shoot them! They refused my advances."

The junior policemen obeyed the order and opened fire on the innocent traders.

Four of the Apo Six were killed on the spot. The remaining two — the lady, Tina Arebu, and one of the five young men — were killed the following day.

According to the findings of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, Tina Arebu was strangled to death by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim.

This is according to the findings of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo and headed by Justice O.O. Goodluck.

Immediately after the killings, the Nigerian Police reportedly went to work in a desperate bid to cover up the crime.

First, Officer Danjuma Ibrahim obtained weapons from the Garki Police Station, planted them inside the Peugeot 406 car of the victims, and ordered the official police photographer to take photographs in an attempt to create the false narrative that the innocent traders were armed robbers killed in a gun battle with the police.

However, both the Administrative Panel of Inquiry set up by the Police and the Judicial Commission of Inquiry established by the Federal Government concluded that DCP Danjuma led other officers in the killing of the six victims, including the strangulation of the only female among them and the burial of their bodies in shallow graves in what the Commission described as "a continuous single exercise of elimination to conceal facts."

The Commission established the following facts: (Read carefully)

The Peugeot 406 being driven by one of the deceased persons had six occupants, including the driver, five males and one female.

The police buried the corpses of the six deceased persons in two shallow graves in the Utako District of the FCT, Abuja, under the supervision of the DPO of Garki Police Station, CSP Othman Abdulsalam.

At the first point of contact between the police and the deceased persons on Gimbiya Street, Area 11, Garki, Abuja, not all the victims were killed there.

No shooting came from the Peugeot 406 car being driven by one of the deceased persons.

The only female occupant of the Peugeot 406, Tina Arebu, was strangled to death by DCP Danjuma Ibrahim and PC Dennis Asawa.

The two locally made pistols, two live cartridges, two expended cartridges, a cutlass, and daggers found in the Peugeot 406 car were planted by officers, according to the Commission's findings.

Like you're not making money when you don't have children and you think you will start making money when children comes?
You will die in poverty and ur children will either join criminals or thouts

[Wisdom @Donuc27]

foolish take.
Did you know how many people with children in their 40's, that died the same day With him and only his death make the news.

[Prince Daniel Chukwuemeka @Prince_dc21_]

He died without a wife, a child, or something that will keep bearing his name after he passed

Bro to bro don't wait till you become very rich before you get married and start bearing children, if you don balance small abeg marry... Life is too short to enjoy it and get married later. Even if you can't marry please have a child that will continue your legacy

Now people who don't know what he suffered to make money will enjoy it.

What a sad reality.
