Bolt Driver Dies After NSCDC Brutality – Nigerians Demand Justice
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A Bolt driver, Henry Osemwenkhia, has died in Benin City after allegedly being assaulted by four officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC). The officers, now in police custody, reportedly attacked him after a dispute at De Kaso Hotel along Limit Road.

According to reports, Osemwenkhia lodged a complaint at the New Etete Police Station on February 4, 2025, stating that NSCDC officers and some individuals beat him. The police issued him a medical report, but he was later found dead at home the next day while awaiting a scan result.

His death has sparked outrage, with the Edo State Police Command vowing to ensure justice is served.

Bolt Condemns Brutality, Calls for Swift Justice

In a statement on Friday, Bolt Nigeria’s General Manager, Osi Ogun, condemned the alleged attack and demanded accountability.

“We are aware of the unfortunate incident involving the tragic death of one of our driver-partners. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones during this difficult time,” Ogun stated.

Bolt emphasized its zero tolerance for violence against drivers, urging authorities to bring the perpetrators to justice. Ogun also reassured that driver safety remains a top priority for the company.

NSCDC Officers Arrested as Nigerians Demand Action

The Edo State Police Command confirmed the arrest of four NSCDC officers linked to the Bolt driver’s death. Police spokesperson, DSP Moses Yamu, revealed that Osemwenkhia had reported an assault case after dropping off a passenger.

This incident has fueled public anger over police brutality in Nigeria. How do law enforcement officers, meant to protect citizens, turn into threats? Why does security brutality remain a crisis in the country?
