A resident of Erin-Osun in the Irepodun Local Government Area of Osun State, Teslim Ibitoye, has narrated how some policemen allegedly shot his brother dead in 2017 and refused to release his corpse since then.
Teslim, who spoke on Friday before the Osun Judicial Panel of Inquiry on police brutality, human rights violations and extrajudicial killings, said the cops also inflicted an injury on his spinal cord.
The petitioner explained that the killing of his brother, Akeem Ibitoye, who he described as the breadwinner of the family, had impacted negatively on the family’s wellbeing.
