Speaking with journalists on Friday, October 15, his sister Princess Nelly Dickson, explained that she was at a salon when her mother called to inform her about the de*th of her brother. According to her, the police are claiming the incident was caused by an “acc*dental discharge” from their rifle but she insists the officer intentionally sh*t her brother.

"Emma was coming back from the opening of a mourning house in the village on Sunday, where my parents were also. As he was about to enter our compound, a police vehicle arrived and they started shouting at him. So he ran to my aunt’s place, the policemen went after him and sh*t my brother. Now they are telling me it was an accidental discharge, that they did not know that the g*n was not on security,” Ms Dickson told PREMIUM TIMES.
.
Speaking further with Sahara Reporters, she said, "The young man that was sh*t was the breadwinner of the family; he was working with a company. He was a trained and seasoned welder. Well, the Nigeria Police have tried, the Investigating Police Officer is trying but I want to see my brother's corpse, we want to bury him.”

Meanwhile, a youth group in Eket, Ekid Youths Union, has petitioned the Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State, Amiengheme Andrew, over the k*lling and demanded justice.
