Nigerians have started donating to raise funds for the family of a late Nigerian policeman, Sergeant Chukwudi Iboko, who died after the robbery of a Zenith Bank branch on Wetheral Road, Owerri, Imo State.
The cop lost his life after confronting a four-man gang in a gun battle, which was captured on a Closed Circuit Television camera.
In the 2.58 minutes video, the victim could be seen firing at the robbers before running out of a security post.
He was reported to have been injured during the incident and was admitted to a hospital where he died the following day.
Although the incident happened in February, the video clip was not released to the public until June, when it went viral on the social media.
Chukwudi’s widow, Mrs. Rose Iboko, told The PUNCH that the police authorities abandoned her and her eight children, adding that they had been suffering since their breadwinner died.
Rose lamented that one of the children, Chukwuebuka, slumped and died from shock during Chuwkwudi’s burial.
Following the SOS from the family, some readers urged The PUNCH to set up a GoFundMe account to raise money for the family.
