*Alleges torture
The family of Kenneth Ike Ayogu, 29, a patent medicine dealer at Narayi in Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State has accused officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) of torturing their son to death in custody.
They insisted that he was severely tortured to death inside their cell after he was arrested on October 13, 2022, for being in possession of a pentazocine injection.
A spokesman for the family, Michael Ayogu, 50, a wine dealer also in Kaduna State lamented that even after his brother’s death under their custody, all efforts the family is making for an autopsy to be carried out have been thwarted by both the police and NDLEA thereby worsening their sorrow.
