Star actress, Lilian Afegbai’s mother, Carol Afegbai is in hot soup.

Edo State Judicial Panel of Enquiry for victims of police brutality and related abuses has ordered for her arrest.

Carol Afegbai was expected to appear before the panel to explain her alleged complicity in the murder of Ibrahim Momodu, a 500 level student of the University of Benin, in 2015.

At the sitting on Tuesday in Benin City, a member of the panel, identified as A.B Thomas, said that Mrs. Afegbai, who was the Divisional Police Officer of Ogida Police Station when Momodu was killed, had no reason to be absent if she has nothing to hide.

The late Ibrahim Momodu was a 500 level student of the Faculty of Laboratory Science, University of Benin, when he was killed close to his family house at No 1, Igbobaewaye Street, off Siluko Road by Textile Mill junction.

Thomas said; “We had ordered her arrest and that she should be brought to this court here. If she was not arrested in the High Court, if she was not arrested in the Court of Appeal, it is because she was not a party, it was the state versus the man who pulled the trigger.”

“But before us here, she is a member of the party and if we just go ahead to conclude, my Lord, it will seem she is above the law. Therefore, we summon the Commissioner of Police to produce Mrs Carol Afegba before this panel.”
