Sunday Eni-Idum, the younger brother of a late cleaner, Francis Eni-Idum reportedly killed in the Ilupeju area of Lagos by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad has accused an Assistant Superintendent
of Police at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, Yaba, of collecting N5,500 to investigate the murder.
It was gathered that two primary school pupils around the area were engaging in a scuffle and Francis, who was passing by, mediated in the fight. He explained, “After the police took the corpse to the mortuary, a relation and I met with ASP Fatai at the SCIID, Panti. He took our statements, collected our contacts and promised to call us. He said they needed money to fuel the vehicle they would bring to the scene for investigation. We were shocked about such demand, being the family of the victims. We eventually gave him N5, 500.
He said the morticians insisted that he should pay N15,000 for the remains to be removed from a container where bodies for mass burial were kept. A debit alert of the transaction obtained by our correspondent showed that the money was transferred to a First Bank Account with the name, Ifarajimi Oladele.
