“They asked Olaoluwa the owner of a particular shop there, he replied that it belonged to his wife. They started beating him. They went into our apartment and carried two televisions and a decoder. They collected my phone, those of my child, friend and customer,” Mrs Bolarinwa narrated. “It was from the incident register at Mokola Police Station, that we got to know that Olaoluwa and others were moved to Obada Police Station, which is some kilometres from Sango-Ota, Ogun State.

He said he told the commander there was no way his brother could be an armed robber and even if he was, he deserved to be taken to court for trial. “The commander told us that Olaoluwa died on the third day after his arrest. They had forgotten that two weeks after Olaoluwa’s arrest, they gave him a phone to speak with his wife. They are now saying that he died three days after his arrest. We asked them to release his corpse to us, but the commander said that because Olaoluwa was an armed robber, they wouldn’t release his corpse,” he narrated.

It will only take the murder of a popular celebrity to push the public to the wall to make every policeman a prey and not even their guns will protect them.

The Nigerian police is not watching CNN to see what is going on because a policeman killed a black man. If a police could be burnt down over, sooner rather than later police will not be safe when the anger boils over in Nigeria.

Such killings should stop.. Security men are meant to protect the people, not kill them.
