Salawu Kazeem, an Assistant Superintendent of Police attached to the
Ogun State Police Command headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, Ogun State,
and two accomplices, have been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command.They allegedly tortured
Ganiyu Akinyemi, 21, to death in the Aboru
area of Lagos State. Around 5pm on Monday, Kazeem and 4 men had gone to
Ganiyu’s house to arrest him for stealing 3 T-shirts in a house where he
went to work the previous week.
Kazeem told Ganiyu’s family that he would detain him at the Oke Odo
Police Division but instead of taking him to the station, he took him to
his own house to torture him. Ganiyu sustained injuries on the knees,
hands and forehead.
He was subsequently rushed to the Oke Odo General Hospital, where he
died. Kazeem begged Ganiyu’s family, saying his death was a mistake. The
matter was reported to the Oke Odo Police Division and Kazeem and two
of the men were arrested, while two others escaped.
