Utako area of Abuja, accused the Nigeria Police Force of stealing some
of the money in the possession of their son at the time of his death.
The late 23-year-old Benjamin Idim was said to have been carrying over
N1 Million, a fact confirmed by a friend, Kunle, who earlier had
custody of the money and officials of Diamond Bank.
According to the fatherof the deceased, Mr.Ita Idim, the police at
Utako police only returned his son's phones and the sum of N800,000,
which were recovered from the destroyed car.
However, the family later found out that in the car there was more
than the amount the police gave us.
"The bank also confirmed that he had more than that amount with him.
If the police can hand over N800,000, you can be sure he had more than
that in the car. The Nigerian Police Force can't give all the money
they recovered."
The late banker was said to have wanted to give N1 million to his
mother for the Christmas celebration and spend the rest of the money
on other things.
The father of the deceased said the son was not known to indulge in
drugs or alcohol and was a devoted Christian.
"To tell you how devoted he was as a Christian, his girlfriend wanted
him to drive her to the airport, but he declined to do so because he
had choir practice at that time," Mr. Ita said.
The FCT Police spokesperson, Altienne Daniel said he was not aware of the case.
"But are they sure the police were the first to arrive at the scene?
Besides, saving the boy's life would be their priority, nobody would
be checking the boot of the car to know whether he had money there or
the amount of money in the car," she stated.
