Police Accused of Alleged Involvement in Death of OOU Student

In a shocking revelation, a Twitter user, @Harwohyehmi1, has accused the Ago Iwoye police and local road union workers of alleged involvement in the death of Onadipe Oluwatosin, also known as Peckulia, a student of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU).

According to the tweet, “On Sunday 17th of December, Onadipe Oluwatosin (Peckulia) was said to have gone to Ago-Iwoye park (chips) to preach the gospel to people.”

However, the park chairman, accused of disturbing his peace, chased Oluwatosin. When Oluwatosin continued preaching, a man, identified as the former park chairman, allegedly struck him on the head with a heavy vulcanizer iron rod.

It was further alleged that the police were called to intervene, but instead of providing medical attention, Oluwatosin went missing for over a week. His body was later found on the Ijebu-Ijesha road, staged to look like a motor accident.

The tweet reads, “They carried him to the spot where he was found, threw away his phone and made it all look like a motor accident, they made sure they carried him far away to a spot out of their jurisdiction, and even when the body was found, reports wouldn’t be made at their own police station.”

The family was initially led to believe that they had lost their son in a tragic motor accident. However, an anonymous eyewitness reached out to the family, revealing the alleged series of events at the park that day.

This incident has sparked outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the allegations. The public awaits the government’s response to these serious accusations.
