The Eselu of Iseluland ,Yewa-North Local Government Area of Ogun State , Oba Akintunde Akinyemi has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu over the death of a farmer in his communi
ty by the operatives of Ogun State Area Command 1 of the Nigerian Customs Service.
Oba Akinyemi stated that the customs officers and men of the state police command refused to release the deceased’s corpse for his family members. The petition partly reads, “On Sunday, 3rd May, 2020, some Officers of Ogun Area Command 1 of the Nigerian Customs Service who were on the trail of some rice smugglers at Agbon Community in Yewa North Local Government Area of Ogun State killed my subject – Kehinde Ogunji through a stray bullet.
“Apart from the fact that the deceased’s family and my humble self want justice and adequate care for the wives and children of the deceased, we also requested the Customs Officers to withdraw the statement in the media, where they claimed that the deceased was a rice smuggler. Amazingly, up till now, they have not withdrawn the malicious statement made against an innocent Kehinde Ogunji.
