Do Not Allow Killer Of Our Son Arrested In Osun SSG’s House Evade Justice – OYEWALE FAMILY CRIES OUT TO PRESIDENT TINUBU, IGP

Deji Adebayo, Osogbo

The family of the late Sheriff Oyewale has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tunji Disu to ensure that the prime suspect in their son’s brutal murder, Biodun Arowomole (popularly known as “Abbey Asipa”), faces the full wrath of the law.

In a statement issued by Mrs Oyewale Fasilat, on behalf of the Oyewale Family of Odeomu, Osun State, Abbey Asipa, a long-wanted murder suspect, was recently arrested inside the residence of the Secretary to the Osun State Government (SSG), Teslim Igbalaye.

The family believed that high-ranking state actors have shielded this fleeing suspect from justice for years. Our son Sheriff Oyewale, who lived in Warri, Delta State, was on a visit to Osogbo when he was targeted and hacked to death in broad daylight at the Orita Aiyetoro junction in Osogbo on November 2022.

The family asserted that Sheriff was brutally killed solely because of his political affiliation with the Osun All Progressives Congress (APC).

Following the gruesome murder, the killers carted away his corpse. To this day, the family has been unable to recover or properly bury his remains, which are alleged to have been secretly buried along the Osogbo-Iwo road.

Three main suspects were linked to this heinous crime: Lekan Ajagungbade (alias “Emir”), Nurudeen Alowonle, and Biodun Arowomole (alias ” Abbey Asipa”). While Alowonle and Emir were initially arrested, they subsequently jumped bail and fled.

Abbey Asipa remained on the run and was officially declared wanted by the police until his recent, shocking arrest inside the Osun State SSG’s property.

With this breakthrough arrest, the Oyewale family fears that the Osun state goverment influence may be used to subvert justice, obstruct the investigation, or allow the suspect to escape custody.

We are demanding a transparent prosecution, a thorough investigation into those who harboured the fugitive , and help in locating Sheriff’s body.

The family stressed that no political office holder should be allowed to use their position to shield individuals accused of violent crimes.

We implore the Presidency and the police leadership to monitor this case closely to guarantee that justice is finally served for Sheriff.

Signed

Mrs Oyewale Fasilat
