The deceased was involved in issuing tickets to riders in Ijebu Ode and was a native of Ijebu Igbo in Ijebu North local government area of the state. The deceased’s neighbour, simply called, Iyabo, as gathered, had gone to the police station to report him and when police came to arrest him with handcuff, he resisted and in the ensuing argument, the policeman fired a gun at him on his head and he died instantly at the spot.

Firstly he was not an arm robber dat d police was going to arrest. He was a armless man. Secondly, wrn he resisted arrest u shld have gone bak and report to ur superior to mobilise other police to bring him by force wit out shooting him. Thirdly, Iyabo, I hope u are happy dat he he dead now so he won't pick quarrel wit u again. I don't know why we can't tolerate each other dis days.
