Publisher of Sahara Reporters and human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore has accused the Nigeria Police Force of trying to extort his family over the autopsy of his slain sibling, Olajide Sowore.
Sowore made the accusation via Facebook on Tuesday.
“Nigeria Police Force trying to shake my family down by charging us exorbitantly to discourage us from getting autopsy for my murdered brother, Olajide Sowore! Shame on Nigeria!,” he wrote.
Olajide was shot dead by suspected Fulani herdsmen in Edo state.

He was a pharmacy student at Igbinedion University, Benin.
The deceased will be laid to rest on Thursday, September 9th in his hometown of Kiribo in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of Ondo State.
Omoyele Sowore, however, announced on Monday that he would be unable to attend the funeral due to a court order restricting him to Abuja.
