Six months from now, the arrowhead of the battle against hoodlums in Lagos State, CSP Kazeem Sumonu Abonde, would have retired to his Ona-Ara hometown in Oyo State where he was hoping to join a political party and contest an election.

Already, he had registered a law firm, K.S. Abonde & Co, and was also looking forward to being the legal adviser to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in his hometown.

Built like a buffalo with a strong body constitution, Abonde was a restless fighter in the war against hoodlums in Lagos. As the leader of the Strike Force at Lagos State Command Headquarters, Ikeja, he had been sent several times to stamp out the fire whenever hoodlums were on the rampage in the state.

On July 22, 2021, NewsmakersNG met him on the field of battle, when he led a reinforcement team from the Lagos State police command to stop hoodlums who attempted to lynch the Chairman, Yaba Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Hon. Omiyale Kayode, as he was returning from a campaign rally at Abule Oja area with some APC party stalwarts.

Life for Abonde was one day one trouble, he once told NewsmakersNG. Fellow officers described him as a restless and very reliable crime fighter.
As if he had a premonition, Abonde recently requested that he wanted to spend his remaining days in the Nigeria Police Force peacefully as a Divisional Police Officer, but the request was rejected by the authorities that felt there was no better beat for such a rugged officer than the daily battles with hoodlums.

Like Harold Robbins would say ‘Dreams Die First.’

On September 23, he was bludgeoned to death, by hoodlums wielding dangerous weapons, while enforcing the ban on the use of motorcycles, otherwise known as Okada.

He led the tactical team of the Lagos State Police Command with men drawn from RRS, Taskforce, Ajao Estate Division, and other divisions. They were carrying out a raid of identified flashpoints and enforcing the ban on motorcycles in restricted areas in the estate and similar places in the state.

Rip man

Got no love for the police, lastma .....

Karma is a bitch, i hv experienced first hand wt this task force are capble of doing very heartless souls.

Death eventually caught up

May He RIP

He does look opposite of the story tho... >:

Nnaaa mehn!!!!!!!!
If you like be an Angel, as long as you join Nigeria Police force, I ain't gat any sympathy to give.

Nigerian Police are specialist in Killing, Stealing and Destruction.

May your soul not rest in peace, same way Flourish soul is not resting in peace.

Don't waste your "RIP". No nigeria police will make heaven

Hmmm
If you're from Ibadan ask about the Abonde family then you can decide if to type RIP or not.

May he face whatever he has pushed forward.

Wasteful system and Country,look at how hoodlums, thugs and Okada riders wasted a CSP, yet the government will not take any action against this Okada riders to bans them on major highways, until one big APC GOVERNMENT official is killed by these Okada riders and hoodlums, that's when they will surely act
Government never bother if a nobody is killed as it doesn't affect them, the foolish masses will still not learn their lesson and will still be used as thugs and political weapons by politicians

What about the dreams of the girl shot and killed by police in Lagos? The boy beaten to death in bayelsa nko,be no get dream?
