Driver’s killing: Culprit won’t go unpunished –CP

Lagos State Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni, yesterday promised that police would not sweep the alleged killing of a commercial bus driver, Muyiwa Ijaduola, under the carpet. 

Ijaduola was allegedly killed by a policewoman, Corporal Daba Abagun, attached to Igando Igando Police Station on Sunday. Abagun reportedly requested N200 from the driver, who offered only N100.
But the corporal angrily dragged him down from the bus and pushed him into the gutter after a heated argument. Witnesses said Ijaduola hit his head against the culvert and died before help could reach him. Police had denied Abagun was responsible for the driver’s death. They claimed that he was epileptic. But the family said Ijaduola had no history of epilepsy.
However, Owoseni, who spoke during a visit to Igando area, according to the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Ozoani Chukwuma, said investigation was ongoing to unravel the cause of Ijaduola’s death.
He said: “Whoever is found culpable after investigations will face the law.” Chukwuma said Ijaduola’s body was in the mortuary pending the conduct of a post-mortem examination.
