The remains of footballer, Joseph Izu, was
laid to rest at his hometown in Okarki village in Rivers State today December
3rd. Joseph, who played for the Shooting stars of Ibadan, was killed during a
shootout between some suspected militants and members of the military task
force on October 16th. At the funeral, his bereaved wife, Pautia Izu who held
her 8yr old daughter, demanded for justice. More photos after the cut...
"We know we will all die someday. Our
problem is the manner in which he was shot and refusal of his killers to do the
right thing. We demand that justice should be done. That is the only thing that
will console us," she said. Father of the deceased, Reuben Izu, decried
the manner in which his son was killed by the military officers "The atm
card the young man offered to them to spare his life is still with them. He was
begging them to leave him alone. He showed them everything that can identify
anybody in the world, yet they still shot him and left with his Ipad, atm card
and other things in his wallet. We have not been able to access his
account" he lamented
