In the video, the young man is seen sitting on the ground with his hands tied.
He is heard pleading with the officers, insisting he knows nothing about the crime he was accused of.
The suspect also claimed a friend had misled him and offered to take the police to the person’s location.
‘’It is my friend that deceived me. He is in Sapele. I would carry you to his house, I do not know anything. I will take you to where he is. Officer please!,” the man said.
It was at this point the police officer is seen firing at the suspect at close range.
