Ifeoluwa Oyeleke, the mother of 14-year-old girl, Jumoke Monsurat Oyeleke, who was killed during the Yoruba Nation rally in Lagos on Saturday, says that up until now, she has yet to see the corpse of her child, Newspremises reports.

She alleged that when she and her brother visited the Police Station where her corpse was believed to have been taken, the policemen on duty threatened to shoot her and her brother on the legs if they didn’t leave immediately.

She added that the policemen also threatened to fire a teargas canister at them. She, however, did not state which Police Station they had visited.

The distraught mother-of-four also disclosed that the victim was her first child.

Jumoke’s body was found sprawled on the ground in a pool of blood, with her stomach ripped apart. This was shortly after policemen had opened fire to disperse those at the rally who were agitating for a separate nation for the Yoruba nation.

The police have, however, denied playing any part in Jumoke’s death, saying that the blood found around her corpse was dry, and that it was an indication that the body was not fresh.

When The PUNCH visited the mother of the deceased girl on Sunday evening, she was barely audible as she narrated her relationship with her late daughter and other issues surrounding their family.

When she found the courage to speak, Ifeoluwa said, “I got a call while I was in Ikeja where I had gone to work.

“When I asked to know what it was about, I was told that there was no issue but that my presence was needed at home.

“It was when I got home that I learnt of what had happened. I was told that the bullet shot by the police killed my daughter.”

Ifeoluwa stated that she had yet to see the corpse of her daughter since she got the news of her death yesterday.

“They’ve not released her corpse to us. I and my brother, under last night’s rain, got there, but were not allowed in. We heard them saying that if we stayed too long, they will shoot our legs and fire a teargas canister at us.

“After a while, my brother discussed with them and they allowed us in to see their Area Commander who said he heard that shots were fired but that he didn’t know which station the officers behind it came from. “

“He said this could be determined when the extracted bullet is examined.”

When asked if the police had told her anything about her daughter’s corpse, she said no, adding that she didn’t know where they took it to.

She stated that she would love to have a lawyer who would help her seek justice concerning the death of her daughter.

Speaking further, Ifeoluwa revealed that Jumoke was an apprentice at an ice cream shop and had just concluded Junior Secondary School education.

“She usually sat in the shop and never hawked.

“She had three siblings who are all girls. Her dad is dead,” she said; adding, “Jumoke was a good girl who hardly got annoyed; she was hard working.

“Anyone who can rise to our defence should please do,” she pleaded.

According to the Sun, all seven men that were part of a gang of robbers that burgled the home of Chelsea star Thiago Silva during his time at Paris Saint-Germain have now been jailed in France.

Thieves robbed the home of the legendary centre-back in December 2018, with the Sun reporting that almost £1m worth of watches and jewellery were taken from the Brazilian.

According to a report from French publication L’Equipe at the time, the Silva residence was burgled whilst PSG were playing a match against Nantes and the defender even had his passport stolen.

L’Equipe add that Silva had a timepiece taken that was worth around €600,000. The raid on Silva’s home came just a month after teammate Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was burgled.

The Sun now report that leader Mohamed S, who carries the nickname of ‘The Cat’, was sentenced to six years in prison after a week-long trial ended on Wednesday.

It’s detailed that the thugs also targeted the homes of French musicians and TV stars.

As well Mohamed, a chief accomplice named Abdelaziz G, known as Bidou, was also sentenced to six years in prison.

Bidou screamed “I’ll break out of jail – and I’ll start robbing again!” as the term was passed down.

Five other men that were part of the criminal group also landed jail terms of three to four years, with a female member of the gang being handed an 18-month suspended sentence for allowing the thieves to use her home.

The Sun report that fines between £900 and £18,000 were also dished out, but that of course pales in comparison to the reported value of items that were stolen – just on the Silva and Choupo-Moting robberies alone.
