The state command spokesman, SP Chidi Nwabuzor noted that the incident happened in 2020.

In a statement, he said: “The command wishes to state in clear terms that the incident in the video happened in 2020, along Ekehuan Road, by Ogede Secondary School, Benin City, Edo State.

“Exactly one year and some months ago, unknown youths accosted a vehicle with all male occupants in the vehicle. This raised a suspicion to the unknown youths that the passengers in the vehicle were criminals, so they stopped the vehicle, conducted a search only by themselves and recovered some arms and ammunition.

“Thereafter, they set the vehicle, suspects, arms and ammunition ablaze and the fire burnt both the male passengers, vehicle, arms and ammunition beyond recognition.
