Okpako’s brother claims that “My brother died along with his friend in a keke. They were shot by police escort attached to a VIP in Ogbolokposo while they were returning home from work.

The police shot them because the keke rider scratched one of the cars in their convoy. Charles and his friend, Apepe, a man whose wife put to bed barely six months ago, died on the spot while the keke rider survived with a bullet injury in his shoulder. The VIP, according to eyewitnesses, is a popular pastor of a big church in Warri.”

DSP Bright Edafe, spokesperson for the State Police Command, confirmed the incident to reporters, saying “I can’t confirm the entire report. However, yes, we got the report that a yet-to-be-identified convoy around the community had an argument with the Keke, and one of the security operatives shot at the keke killing two persons. Investigation is on to unravel the identity of the people who did this dastardly act.”
