"My 'auntie' has three sons. She's always crazy about them. The middle child, David, is the most promising. He's tech guy; very young, very brilliant. David was on his way home on Friday night when he was robbed, shot and killed around Jibowu. Please say a prayer to my aunt.

"David got shot around 8pm. The police were called, David hadn't died yet. The Nigerian police stood and watched as he gasped for air. They took pictures instead and were more concerned with why he - a tech guy - was carrying a laptop. Nigeria failed you, David.

"David wasn't attended to by the doctors at LUTH. He was there till the family was convinced he couldn't be alive because he had no pulse. The doctors refused to administer any test to see if he was alive."
