45 Year Old Man Arrested For Contributory Negligence To The Death Of A 3 Year Old Girl.


 



Men of Ogun State Police Command on Friday 10th of March 2023 arrested a 45-year old  Semiu Adegesin whose contributory negligence led to the death of a 3-year old girl Esther Samuel. 

The suspect was arrested following a report lodged at Imasayi Divisional Headquarters that a 13-year old boy, Ope Babalola shot and killed the deceased with a dane gun at Kukudi Village, Imasayi. 

Upon the information, the DPO Imasayi division, SP Arowojeun Michael, quickly led his detectives to the scene where the deceased was met in the pool of her own blood. 

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect Semiu Adegesin loaded his dane gun, and carelessly kept it in an open place at the backyard of the house where children used to play.

It was there the 13-year old Ope Babalola picked the loaded gun, pointed it at the deceased and pulled the trigger.

The deceased was quickly taken to General Hospital Ilaro, where she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

The owner of the dane gun was promptly arrested and taken to the station for interrogation. 

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Frank Mba, who described the incident as unfortunate, sympathized with the deceased's family and appealed for calm as the case will be properly investigated. 

The CP therefore directed that the case be transferred to Homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Departments for discreet investigation.

Alake of Ake, Solicitor General Accused of Sponsorship; Governor Abiodun Urged to Intervene In a bold move, the Olota of Otta, Oba (Prof) Adeyemi Obalanlege, successfully visited Kajola Iboro on Saturday, October 19, 2024, despite reported attempts to obstruct his visit. The town falls under his jurisdiction within the Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government. Sources close to the palace allege that hoodlums, sponsored by the Alake of Ake, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, and his allies, including Ogun State Solicitor General, Mr. Olusegun Olaotan, were behind the obstruction efforts.
