Corporal tortured my son to death –Father

A police corporal, identified as Taye, attached to Denton Police Division, has been accused of torturing a 19-year-old barber, Gafar Ayoola, to death at Oyingbo area of Lagos State. Gafar’s father, Mr. Gboyega Ayoola, said his son was at Oyingbo bus stop about 8:30a.m. last Friday, waiting to board a bus to Badagry when Taye arrested him.

He said the corporal accused Gafar of abusing him three months ago and that he had been monitoring his movements in order to arrest him. Ayoola said he was told that traders nearby begged the policeman not to arrest Gafar but Taye insisted on taking him to the station. According to him, a few hours later, Gafar died while being tortured. The news of Gafar’s death led to a protest in the area. Ayoola said Gafar’s mother sent the deceased to Oyingbo before he met his death.
He said: “My family and I live at Okoafo, Badagry area, where the deceased had a shop. Before I left home for the Island on that fateful day, my wife told me she wanted to send Gafar to Oyingbo to give her elder sister money for a monthly contribution.http://newtelegraphonline.com/corporal-tortured-son-death-father/
