Police brutality: family of late Chima yet to receive autopsy result

Family of late Chima Ikwunado were unable to receive a copy of the result of the autopsy conducted on late Chima Ikwunado on the 10th of February. Our correspondent reports that the family had proceeded to the state criminal investigation department to apply for a copy of the autopsy report but could not access it as the police homicide department said they are yet to receive the result. A policeman who attended to the family said the result is expected by today and will only be made available for sighting. The family of late Chima Ikwunado have requested for an autopsy to be conducted on late Chima due to claims by the police that he died of high sugar level. The family had engaged the services of a pathologist to join the police pathologist to conduct the autopsy. Meanwhile, Late Chima's Elder brother Anthony Ikwunado says the family have been undergoing pressure from the police and other stakeholders to drop the case. Anthony Ikwunado who spoke to our correspondent said the family was called for a closed door meeting with the commissioner of police Mustapha Dandaura yesterday after he was served the court notice. He said the Commissioner of police is seeking that the family of late Chima settle the matter out of court.
