The family of Johnbull Ogiemwense in Ubiaza Community in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo State, has asked the Nigeria police and other relevant security agencies not to leave any stone unturned in ensuring justice for their late son, Edwin Ogiemwense murdered in his prime in the community.

The distraught father, Pa Ogiemwense, made the call while addressing newsmen in Benin City.

He alleged that one Emmanuel Agbogun and Lucky Ogiamien, mastermind the death of his son.

He said though the said Lucky Ogiamien is currently in detention, Agbogun has been granted bail.

Pa Ogiemwense maintained that the said Agbogun is not from the community but wondered why he has so much vested interest in Ubiaza Community adding that, since his presence in the community, they have not known peace.

Ogiemwense added that he needs justice for his son and that the authorities concerned should rise up to their responsibilities and ensure that justice is served.

Also speaking, the eldest daughter of the deceased, Peace Ogiemwense called on the government to come to their rescue and give them justice over the death of her father.

Reacting to the allegation, Emmanuel Agbogun said Pa Johnbull Ogiemwense is accusing him wrongly adding that he knows nothing about the death of his son.

He said he shares in the pains of the deceased family.

Agbogun called on the Nigeria police to carry out a thorough investigation on the said killing to unravel those behind the dastardly act .
