On Tuesday, TheCable reported how Ogar was brutalised by some policemen near a military check point close to a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) around Nyanya market.
The deceased was conveying his two children to school in company of his wife when policemen ordered him to stop.

Ogar was said to have made a U-turn at a wrong location to enable him get to the school on time before the police officers, who were on duty in the area, stopped him for failing to comply with traffic rules.
In the video, the woman was seen in a police van sitting beside the remains of her husband.
“We took him to a hospital in Nyanya. Later they said I should go and get card and they eventually referred him to another hospital. They didn’t want me to know that he had died,” she said as she broke down in tears.
