Youths from Anioma in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State have petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, following the alleged extra-judicial killing of David Nduka by a police officer in Abuja. Nduka, an employee of a security service in Gwarinpa, Abuja, reportedly kept money meant for sharing with colleagues, leading to a confrontation and his subsequent attempt to seek refuge at a nearby plaza. There, he was allegedly shot in the leg by a police officer stationed at the location, resulting in his death on June 21, 2024.
