Nollywood actress, Lilian Afegbai, has taken to her verified Instagram account to clear her mother’s name, Carol, after some online commenters tagged her mother, a retired police officer, as a murderer.

The commenters alleged that the actress mother was involved in the death of a 500 level student of the University of Benin, Ibrahim Momodu in 2013.

While defending her mother the actress stated that the culprit, Amadin Idahosa, has been brought to book and he is currently serving a life sentence.  

She reiterated that her mother is now retired from the Nigeria Police Force.

She wrote, “My spirit will not be dampened by the death threats and cyberbullying. I am a Nigerian youth and we deserve a better Nihasa and I will continually fight until it is fixed.

She continued, “As per my mother being dragged for murder, to the best of my knowledge my mother who is now retired did not kill anyone. The police officer (AMADIN IDAHOSA) that was attached to my mother’s station who killed the suspect was sentenced to life imprisonment by Justice R. Irele-Ifijeh of the High Court of Justice, Edo State in Charge No: B/CD/24C/2014. He is currently serving his jail term at the Oko Prison, Benin, although he has appealed the matter up to the Supreme Court.

“My spirit will never be broken. I will fight for justice and against the system that have put all of us into this mess. #endsars #endpolicebrutality“

Lilian Afegbai further posted some documents to prove her mother’s innocence.
