Mrs Ugiri in an interview on Friday in Port Harcourt pleaded with CP Disu to tell Police Officers who were on ground on the day of the protest to produce the corpse of her Son.
Mrs Ugiri said “I have seen the video of my son’s dead body .What,I want is for them to give me the dead body of my son, let me go and bury him.I have gone to many hospitals, mortuaries to search for his dead body, but I have not seen his dead body.
“What I am begging is that anywhere the dead body is kept it should be given to me,I am not making any trouble,I just want to get the dead body and bury him.
“I call on the new Commissioner of Police to look into the matter,any how he knows he will help me recover the corpse let him do it.I am a poor woman”.
