A lawyer, Mr Bernard Jamaho on Monday said the Police authorities have refused to pay twelve million naira compensation to a blind man, Mr Simon Arigbe, who was brutalised by some Policemen at the Express junction in Ovwian, Udu Local Government Area of Delta State in 2010.

The legal practitioner who is a cousin to the blind man disclosed this to newsmen at the public hearing held by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police brutality and Extra-Judicial Killings in Delta State.

He aid the Policemen on beat before Express junction in Ovwian accosted his Cousin as a taxi driver to ask him for some money.

According to the lawyer, “He objected saying he had given them before and cannot give another one. “This led to an altercation and the altercation led to them beating him. In the process, he got blind.

” A human right lawyer, Oghenejabor Ikimi took the matter up, went to the High Court, got a judgment and the police had to go to Court again to set aside the judgment which the Court refused the application in 2010.
