Mrs. Olatundun Masaku, a visitor to the
MAN Centre Police Division where one Gabriel Faleye, died, says she saw
his corpse inside the cell, but she was begged not to raise the alarm.
Olatundun said she saw the corpse when
she went to check her son, Ibrahim Masaku, who was arrested along with
the deceased around 3am on Monday outside Royale – a nightclub on Oba
Akran Road in Ikeja.
This is just as Gabriel’s mother, Mrs.
Iqrat Faleye, debunked the police’s robbery allegation against her son,
saying the report was a frame-up.
PUNCH Metro had reported on
Wednesday that 24-year-old Gabriel and his friends had gone to the club
on Sunday when a fight broke out between them and another group of
clubbers.
He was said to have left the club and
was heading for his residence on Obafemi Awolowo Way when one of the
aggrieved clubbers entered his car and deliberately ran into him.
It was reported that the policemen, who
stormed the area afterwards, whisked Gabriel and Ibrahim to the station
despite entreaties that he should be taken to a hospital for treatment.
He allegedly died in custody around 5am.
The state police command had said Gabriel died in a hospital, where he was rushed to.
