| Comrade Olaitan Oyerinde |
The Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has accused the Nigerian Police of being responsible for the assassination of his Special Adviser and Personal Secretary, Olaitan Oyerinde.
Mr Oshiomhole, who was speaking on
Thursday in Abuja during the launching of the new code of conduct for the
Nigerian police, said both the assassin and the weapon used to murder the late
Oyerinde were in police detention as at the time the assassination was carried
out.
The governor said, “The man, who was
involved in the murder according to the record of the police including the
entry made by a DPO (Divisional Police Officer) in a police station, was
already under police detention at the time my private secretary was murdered.
“The weapon that was used for the
murder was used for armed robbery earlier, recovered by the police and under
police custody at the time my secretary was murdered.
“So, the man who murdered my secretary
was in police custody; the gun he used was in police custody and this is the
findings of the police. The only conclusion that can be reached is that the
police ordered the killing of my private secretary.
Mr. Oshiomole, who was visibly moved to
tears called for the investigation of the Deputy Inspector General of police in
charge of criminal investigation and possible dismissal if he is found culpable
in the death of late Oyerinde.
The former aide to Mr Oshiomhole was
shot and killed in front of his wife and children at his residence in Benin
City by suspected assassins.
