Autopsy result of murdered Ondo politician allegedly hidden by Lagos police

A dispute has arisen over the investigation into the death of Otunba Bamidele Akingboye, a former Ondo State governorship candidate and businessman. His son, Samuel Akingboye, has accused the Lagos State police command of withholding the autopsy results, sparking concerns about the transparency of the investigation.

According to Samuel, the police have refused to share the autopsy findings with him, despite being the complainant. Instead, they allegedly invited his stepmother to discuss the case without his presence. This has raised questions about the motives of the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Olohundare Jimoh.

Samuel claims that the CCTV footage suggests his father’s death was a result of violent circumstances, implying murder. He has expressed concerns that the police’s actions may be an attempt to “dilute, or divert the investigation.” Furthermore, he alleges that his stepmother and her children have begun selling his father’s properties while the investigation is ongoing.

The situation has taken a toll on Samuel, who claims to have received death threats from his stepmother and her family members. He has called on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Egbetokun, the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and the general public to intervene in the matter.

Samuel’s appeal for support and protection highlights the need for a thorough and transparent investigation into his father’s death. The case has sparked concerns about the handling of high-profile investigations and the potential for influence and resources to impact the outcome.

The autopsy results and CCTV footage are crucial pieces of evidence that could shed light on the circumstances surrounding Otunba Bamidele Akingboye’s death. Samuel’s demand for their release is a call for accountability and transparency in the investigation. As the case continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the authorities will respond to these concerns and ensure that justice is served.
