The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing allegations of rights abuses against the police, on Friday, directed Mrs Olamide Erinfolami, the widow of Inspector Ayodeji Erinfolami, who was killed during the
#EndSARS protest, to visit the pathologist for a post-mortem evaluation on her husband’s remains.
Ayodeji was shot on the stomach on October 12, 2020, in the Surulere area of Lagos during the
#EndSARS protest and the widow had alleged that her husband was shot by one of his fellow policemen.
At the last sitting of the panel, the widow’s counsel, Mr Gbemiga Ogunleye, had prayed the panel to order the police to immediately conduct an autopsy and release the remains of the deceased for burial so that the family could get a closure while the counsel for the police, Cyril Ejiofor, told the panel the police would call at least one witness.
