An advertising agent, Olalekan Olakitan, has urged the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to investigate the role some personnel at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeo

kuta, and the force headquarters in Abuja, played in allegedly suppressing a complaint of armed robbery he made and protecting the suspects.had reported that Olakitan was attacked at gunpoint and dispossessed of his valuables by four men on August 21, 2018, around Iyana-Ilogbo area of Ogun State, while on his way home.

Upon the receipt of the petition, the command reportedly commenced investigation into the incident and the suspects were arrested with the pump action rifle that they allegedly used to rob the victim. According to Olakitan, upon their release, the suspects teamed up with some police personnel at Eleweran to compromise the investigation by accusing him of impersonation for which he was charged.

Olakitan, in a fresh petition to the IG through his lawyer, Kolade Ilesanmi, stated that since the incident happened and the suspects were released, his life had been in danger as he could no longer stay in his apartment. “They have fled their home and visit the same sparingly in the belief that they could be killed by the so-called powerful criminals they are insisting should be brought to justice.

“That the items stolen from our client on the day of the robbery by the criminal offenders be recovered from them and returned to our client. The money paid to Inspector Francis Atama and used in hosting him and his team in their fruitless visit to Lagos and Ogun states should also be recovered and returned to our client.
