Man Arrested For Son’s Alleged Crime Dies In Police Custody by Nobody: 11:22am On Aug 31, 2020 |
An Ibadan-based trader, Mr. Kehinde Omotosho
aka Akede, has died in police custody seven days
after being arrested for the alleged crime of his
son, Kabiru.
According to a report lodged in a crime-reporting
app, FlagIt App, the deceased was arrested along
with another of his sons, Jelili, by policemen last
week and detained at the State Criminal
Investigation Department, Iyaganku, Ibadan.
While in detention, the police allegedly denied
him access to relatives until his death on
Wednesday.
Akin Fadeyi, Director of the Akin Fadeyi
Foundation, said Kehinde, who was the
breadwinner of his family, left behind an aged
mother.
Fadeyi said, “We just received another sad report
through FlagIt App. Mr. Kehinde Omotosho, alias
Akéde, a trader at Gbagi Market, Ibadan, Oyo
State, was in his house on Wednesday. Nigerian
police officers from Iyaganku came to his house
to effect arrest of his son, Kabiru. He was said to
have been involved in a fight.
“The son was not at home. The police allegedly
arrested the father in lieu of the son. This is
called hostage arrest. They drove him to State
CID, Iyaganku. They also took with him Kabiru’s
brother, called Jelili.
“Mr. Omotosho was kept for seven days. He was
not charged to court and neither were his
relatives allowed to see him. Between yesterday
night and today, Mr. Kehinde Omotosho died in
police cell.
“The family Representative of the Late Mr.
Omotosho, while speaking with me said these
words, ‘The Nigerian Police has killed our family
member. We are only cheated because we are not
educated and because we don’t know anybody’”.
Fadeyi asked the police to prepare for battle as
the matter would not be swept under the carpet.
“Nigerian Police authorities are being put on
notice that this matter shall not be swept under
the carpet. We shall demand justice for the
bereaved and his family,” Fadeyi said.
When contacted on the telephone, Police Public
Relations Officer, Oyo State command,Mr. Gbenga
Fadeyi, said he was not aware of the incident but
promised to find out.
“I just heard about this now but I will find out and
get back to you later in the day,” the police
spokesman said.
The Nigeria Police Force has been accused of
committing several acts of rights abuse including
torture of suspects in detention and arresting of
relatives in lieu of wanted suspects
According to global rights group, Amnesty
International, civilians in Nigeria are being
extorted, raped, tortured, and killed by police
officers. Victims of these crimes are still waiting
for justice because the anti-torture law meant to
provide justice is not being enforced.
