Until Saturday 5 December, 2009, the parents of six students that were killed by police in Ekpoma had high hope. This was fired largely by the expectation that their children, student of the Ambrose Ali University in Ekpoma, Edo State were displaying promising signs. With the graduation of the children from the institution fast approaching, the parents were optimistic that the feat of their children would further bring glory to their various families. But this was not to be.
