Dismissed Policeman Jailed 30 Years For killing 17-Year-Old Boy

The police charged Mr Ocheni with culpable homicide, not punishable by death.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court in Zuba, on Friday, sentenced a dismissed inspector, Haruna Ocheni, to 30 years’ imprisonment for killing a 17-year-old boy.

The police charged Mr Ocheni with culpable homicide, not punishable by death.

Delivering judgement, Justice Kezziah Ogbonnaya held that the prosecution had proven its case beyond reasonable doubt, saying that Mr Ocheni did not have a legitimate reason to be in the deceased’s house at the time of the incident.

He further said that he took his son to the Kubwa General Hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
