Recalling the incident, the eldest son of the deceased, Atinu Adesitimi, said, “My parents were at home that evening when they heard a bang at the gate around 9pm. Under normal circumstances, we were conscious about security after the death of my younger sister.

“According to her, their faces were not clearly seen because the place was dark. All she saw was the gun in the hand of one of the men who followed my dad back into the main building, which was a little distance from the gate.
“She overheard the men asking my father, ‘Where is the document?’ My mum ran through the backdoor to our neighbour’s house, where she called policemen.
“The policemen, who were at a checkpoint, rather than follow us to our house to save the situation, they took us back to their station, where they wasted time. By the time my mum and the policemen returned to the house, my father was already dead.”
