See what the death of a police ASP caused among residents
The killing of an Assistant
Superintendent of Police by suspected
vandals, has caused the residents of
Voera Estate in Arepo, Ogun State, to run
away for fear of more attacks.
The deceased, identified only as Odusanya ,
was attached to the Ikorodu Police Division .
He was shot dead during a two-hour attack.
According to Punch , two residents of the
community were also kidnapped, and their
families asked to pay a ransom for their
release following the attack.
A member of the residents association in the
area, who spoke to Punch on the condition of
anonymity, said Odusanya was returning
from a church service when he was killkilled
He said, “About six houses along Association
Road have been abandoned. These are luxury
houses. The best the owners do is to come in
the afternoon, pick their belongings from the
houses and return to their new abodes.”
“The ASP was a Catholic. He was returning
from church after an evening Mass on May
31. As he drove to his house, the vandals
were already at the gate.”
“They surrounded the car and dragged him
out. They found Odusanya’s police uniform
while searching his car for money. That was
why they shot him in the head.”
“The vandals would have attacked more
residents, but the estate security men
exchanged fire with them; so, they fled.”
The police has however stepped up efforts to
improve security in the area. This is
according to DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the Ogun
State Police Public Relations Officer.
