Man Dies In Police Custody After Unlawful Arrest And Three-day Detention by Minded56(op): 9:13am On Feb 23, 2025
Lagos, Nigeria – February 12, 2025

The family of Oduga Mujeed Igbayitayo, also known as Olá, is demanding answers after he was taken into police custody and later pronounced dead under unclear circumstances.

According to eyewitness accounts, Igbayitayo, a resident of Chevron, Lagos, had a minor argument with a neighbor on the morning of February 11. Later that day, officers from Ikota Police Station arrived at his residence and invited him for questioning.

Estate officials who witnessed the arrest say that as Igbayitayo was being escorted out in a police vehicle, the estate manager intervened, inquiring about the reason for his arrest. The officers reportedly assured him that it was a routine inquiry following the complaint from his neighbor and that Igbayitayo would return soon.

However, by the end of the day, he had not returned home. Concerned, the estate manager visited Ikota Police Station twice, but officers on duty denied having any record of his arrest or detention.

By the following morning, February 12, Igbayitayo’s heavily pregnant wife, who had been staying with her mother-in-law in Ikorodu, grew increasingly anxious after multiple failed attempts to reach him. She contacted the estate manager, who then recounted the details of his arrest. Alarmed, she reached out to his siblings, and together they rushed to Ikota Police Station to demand answers.

Upon arrival, the officers once again denied having Igbayitayo in their custody. However, after persistent questioning and pressure from his family, one officer eventually admitted that he had been detained at the station but claimed he had been transferred to Ajah Police Station.

His sister, refusing to leave without seeing him, proceeded to Ajah Police Station. There, the officer in charge (IPO) received her and directed her to an office where several other officers were present. Upon entering, she was offered a seat before one officer casually asked, “How can the sister help us?”

The officers then informed her that they needed her to accompany them to Epe Mortuary. Shocked, she demanded an explanation. “He is dead, and his body is in the mortuary,” one officer reportedly stated.

Distraught and in disbelief, she refused to follow them, insisting that her brother had been taken alive and should be returned alive. Overcome with grief, she left the station with no clarity on how her brother had died.

Now, the family is demanding justice and transparency. “He was invited for questioning, and the next thing we were told was that his body was in the mortuary,” a relative stated. “What happened to him in police custody? How did his body get to the mortuary? We have no answers.”

The tragic incident has sparked outrage, with calls for an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding Igbayitayo’s death. His family, including his pregnant wife and aged mother, is pleading for justice, insisting that those responsible be held accountable.

As of the time of this report, the Lagos State Police Command has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.

This is a developing story.
