“WARNING – GRAPHIC CONTENT
(One of the attached photos in this post is graphic, be guided accordingly, please.)
“On the request of the family of the Late Abasifreke John Jeremiah (Ab Jerry Jerry), I am publishing the photo of his corpse publicly.
Attached to this post are photographs of the late Abasifreke John Jeremiah, a rising Nigerian wrestler from Akwa Ibom State while he was alive and after he died in questionable circumstances.
The late wrestler went to Bayelsa State on 10th December, 2023 for training preparatory to a wrestling competition.
His family was informed on 28th December, 2023 that he “drowned” on 27th December, 2023 after a boat he was traveling with capsized.
Curiously, the people who reported his death to his family and claimed to have recovered his corpse refused to send a photograph of his body to his family for identification despite repeated demands.
“The family eventually obtained the attached photograph of the corpse through an anonymous source which raised fundamental questions on the claims that he drowned and raises reasonable suspicion that he may have been murdered.
As you can see, the gory photograph of the corpse shows visible signs of deep cut in the neck and a bloodied body.
I petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Bayelsa State Command on behalf of the father of the deceased who is a retired Superintendent of the Nigeria Police Force to demand a thorough investigation and a coroner’s inquest.
“I also wrote to the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, the Attorney General of Akwa Ibom State and the Commissioner for Youth and Sport in Akwa Ibom asking for their intervention in ensuring that justice is done in this case.
Those who should be questioned are evading police invitations and playing hide and seek. No one has been arrested or questioned till date.
The family suspects that there are ongoing plans to compromise investigation into this case.
The family is demanding justice.”
