Adeoriokin's Death: Questions Linger as Osun Police Remain Mum on Shooter's Fate

The death of prominent Osun PDP chieftain, Dr. Richard Adeori Okin, has sent shockwaves through the state and sparked outrage over the lack of transparency surrounding the circumstances of his demise. While the police have apprehended Prince Oyeyode, who allegedly directed a civilian guard to fire into thin air, and identified the shooter as Hammed Abduljelili, they have remained tight-lipped about his current whereabouts.

Unconfirmed reports paint a murky picture, with some suggesting Abduljelili was shot dead by a police officer, while others claim he was mobbed to death. This lack of clarity has fueled public speculation and raised troubling questions about the police's handling of the investigation.

Just like every concerned citizen, Sodiq Lawal Chocomilo expressed his dissatisfaction with the police's statement, calling it "completely in lack of necessary crime details." He further questioned why the police haven't revealed Abduljelili's fate, asking, "If the shooter was truly shot... Why was he shot? Who shot him? What's the relationship between the shooter, the person who shot him and the deceased? Why was he not arrested? Could it be because he has access to some information or to protect some covers?"

Chocomilo's concerns resonate with many Osun residents who are grappling with the loss of Dr. Okin and the uncertainty surrounding the events that led to his death. The police's silence on the shooter's fate only adds to the public's distress and raises concerns about potential cover-ups or attempts to shield powerful individuals.

The Osun State Police Command owes it to the public to be transparent and provide answers to these critical questions. Sharing the circumstances surrounding Abduljelili's fate, whether he was arrested or not, and the rationale behind their actions is crucial to restoring public trust and ensuring a thorough investigation into Dr. Okin's death.
