Hours after getting dragged online over the alleged crimes of retired police officer mom, Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Lilian Afegbai, has taken to social media to break her silence.
According to Sahara Reporters, the murder of Momodu Ibrahim allegedly by Afegbai had generated controversy so much that Edo Political Forum (EPF), based in Benin City, urged the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed D. Abubakar, to investigate the killing.
Ibrahim who was a student of the University of Benin had reportedly been buried hurriedly without the consent of his family, the report stated.

"My spirit will not be dampened by the death threats and cyberbullying. I am a Nigerian youth and we deserve a better Nigeria and I will continually fight until it is fixed. As per my mother being dragged for murder, to the best of my knowledge my mother who is now retired did not kill anyone. The police officer (AMADIN IDAHOSA) that was attached to my mother’s station who killed the suspect was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice R. Irele-Ifijeh of the High Court of Justice, Edo State in Charge No: B/CD/24C/2014.
"He is currently serving his jail term at the Oko Prison, Benin, although he has appealed the matter up to the Supreme Court. My spirit will never be broken. I will fight for justice and against the system that have put all of us into this mess. #endsars #endpolicebrutality"
