How police killed corps member in Oyo

According to The Punch, Saheed SARS is popular among the students of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Ogbomosho, for his assaults, particularly the “Yahoo boys”.

In 2020, Saheed SARS was highly criticized on social media after it was reported that he posted a picture of himself with a white Mercedez Benz car he claimed to have bought.

A brother to the deceased, Iyanda Oluwafemi, who is a graduate of LAUTECH, disclosed to journalists on Monday, April 22, that he was wounded by the bullets that Saheed shot.

Oluwafemi, a graduate of accounting and management sciences from LAUTECH, disclosed that Damilola was his brother and that he just attended his convocation. Oluwafemi said they were on their way for an after-party on the same day when Saheed SARS shot him dead.

According to the LAUTECH graduate, Damilola was serving in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state.

Oluwafemi’s comment reads in part:

“I sustained bullet wounds, but my brother, who came for my convocation, was shot in the head. He was confirmed dead at the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital and was taken to the mortuary this morning.”

Police dismiss two officers in Oyo

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that the Nigeria Police Force had dismissed two officers caught in a viral video asking a Dutch tourist for money.

Hamzat Adebola, the Oyo state police commissioner, announced their dismissal at an event.

According to Adebola, dismissing Kareem Fatai and Jimoh Lukmon will serve as a lesson to other officers with the same mindsets.
