Children of Mrs. Aderonke Adelugba, who
was allegedly killed by a policeman in the Sijuade area of Akure, Ondo
State, on Sunday have called on the government and human rights groups
in the country to assist them to ensure that the matter is not swept
under the carpet .
The children also lamented that the
autopsy of the deceased had yet to be done because they could not afford
the N42,000 bill charged them by the Ondo State Specialist Hospital,
Akure, where the corpse was deposited.
Fifty-year-old Adelugba was reportedly
hit with the butt of a gun by one of the policemen attached to the Oda
division as she appealed to the cops not to arrest one of her children
who the police accused of being a hemp smoker.
The deceased was said to have been
rushed to a private hospital, where it was confirmed that she had died.
The policemen allegedly fled the scene immediately the woman collapsed.
One
of the deceased’s children, Charles, who spoke with our correspondent
on behalf of others on Tuesday, appealed to the government to assist
them in getting justice, saying they had nobody to assist them in
fighting for justice.
