Lady Cries Out To IG, Says Husband Killed By Policemen

Bukola Erinfolami, a twenty-five-year-old woman is agonising in pain over the gruesome murder of her 27-year-old husband, Wale reportedly by policemen involved in a landowning dispute.

Bukola, the proud mother of three, a six-year-old and two-year-old twins couldn’t control her tears as she recounted how her husband was allegedly murdered in his prime by some happy trigger policemen.

With so many tears in her eyes and in a state of despair, Bukola said that on the fateful day, her husband bade her farewell, hugged his children and told her he was going to work. Sadly, that was the last time she saw him.

She said: “I never had any inkling of a bad omen hanging on my husband as he left home, full of life. He promised to buy the children some things on his way back. Towards evening, he called to inform me that he might be coming back a little late as he had more jobs to do; He was an artisan, a welder. It was about a few hours later that someone rushed to call me that my husband had been shot and that he was dead. I raced to the place almost half-naked with my three children to ascertain the veracity of the news, but I was unable to see his corpse. I ran around the vicinity of the site of the incident to see if he was being hidden somewhere in the bush. But all I could see was blood without my husband.

“When I pressed to know what could have happened to his remains if indeed he was dead, two of his friends who came to break the news to me informed that my husband had been taken to a mortuary in Ikorodu by the Police at Odongunyan Division. I rushed to the police station to seek clarification on what happened to my husband.

“The police would not attend to me; rather they treated me with disdain. They told me casually that the matter had been transferred to the state CID in Panti, Lagos. When I requested to see the corpse of my husband at the General hospital in Ikorodu, they told me bluntly that I could not see him and that only the police could give such permission. Again, I went back to the police station in Ikorodu to get the permission but they insisted I could not see him. At this point, I became more confused and angry as I could not fathom any reason why the police would not allow me to see his body. I am bereaved and mourning and I believe I deserve to know what really happened to my husband.”

According to Bukola, her husband never joined any cult group as to have murdered in the broad day light.

“They have made me a widow at noon,” she cried. “They have denied me the fruit of my matrimony and they have made my children fatherless, even as toddlers

“He told me he was going to work to fend for me and the three children, and I believed him. He was a responsible father and husband. A week before the incident, he had promised to give me some money to boost my phone recharge card business as he was expecting some money. All that has vanished into the air with his untimely death. Now, where do I go from here?”

Bukola’s only request was to see the remains of her husband one more time. She pleaded with the new Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, and Lagos State Governor Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu to help find the perpetrators of the murder.
