The parents of the boy allegedly chased to death by a team of security personnel have lauded the Osun State Government for endorsing the report of the Police Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department. The report revealed the names and other identities of the alleged officers involved in the murder of their child, Idris Ajibola.
The parents made the commendation yesterday at the resumed hearing of the Osun Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police Brutality, Human Rights Violations, and Related Extra-Judicial Killings. The parents said the revelation of the identities of the alleged erring officers by the government through CIID was an indication that the government is a lover of justice and a clear justification of their request for the payment of a sum of N5billion as compensation.
This is even as the counsel for the petitioners, Kanmi Ajibola, after the presentation of his final written address for adoption, lauded the panel’s formation and expressed confidence in its ability to dispense justice.
The names of the security personnel in the Joint Task Force (JTF) vehicle that allegedly chased and killed the deceased as revealed by the police are Ejigbo Audu (NPF); Benjamin Ogunsesan (NPF); Jekayinfa Olutosin (NSCDC); Raji Adewale (SSS) and Hammed Yusuf (NAF).
