Mr Ikeaguchi, father of the deceased on his part said he has spent over five hundred thousand naira to ensure Justice is served on the matter.
“I was made to pay for the expenses of the autopsy. Over 200k. I know it’s supposed to be the duty of the state. I asked the doctor if the results will be given me, he said it is the Police property. Then I said why should I pay? Even after the autopsy. I was told I have to apply for it in the court.’
“I spent 100k on the autopsy, mortuary demanded 10k. Then other expenses like transportation for police from the headquarter to the hospital and back,” he added.
