Atrader, Kehinde Omotosho, who was arrested for an offence allegedly committed by his nephew, Kabiru Rasaq, has died in the custody of the police in Oyo State.
gathered that policemen from the State Criminal Investigation Department and Agugu Police Station stormed the residence of the deceased on Ifedapo Street in the Alajameta area of Ibadan on July 16, 2020.
They were taken to the Agugu Police Station and later transferred to the State CID office at Iyaganku. “When they got to our doorstep and asked us to open the door, we were scared. But when they said they were policemen, we opened. They rushed in and asked where Kabiru was. We told them that he was not around. They searched everywhere and when they did not see him, they took us away.
“When we got back to our cell, I noticed that the deceased became incoherent and was not breathing well. I notified the police, but he died before he was rushed to the hospital. She said, “It was three days after their arrest that we knew that they were at the state CID. We were not allowed to see them when we got to the station, so we had to get a lawyer. The lawyer told us that he saw them on Monday. But to our surprise, we got a call from the state CID that my father fainted inside the cell and he had been rushed to hospital. It was later we discovered that my father died in the station before he was taken to the hospital.
