There was a protest at the Ikorodu area of Lagos State on Monday over the death of a man, Omolola Rotimi Ejioye, also known as Eji, who was arrested for alleged murder.
According to Eji’s family members and the protesters, he died in the custody of Lagos State Police Command.
The police, however, denied the claim, clarifying that Eji was “never tortured to death but fell ill”.
During the protest on Monday, the placard-carrying youths alleged that the deceased was detained illegally.
One of the protesters, a nursing mother who came to the protest ground backing her baby, wailed that justice must be done.
