Olaitan: Oshiomhole renews call for proper investigation

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Wednesday, reiterated his earlier call on the police to unmask the killers of his Principal Private Secretary, Olaitan Oyerinde.

He state this while receiving the new state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Foluso Adebanjo, in Benin.

Oshiomohole said, “I cannot pretend, I remain aggrieved and I believe it’s a shame, a national embarrassment that a governor can’t get justice. If a governor cannot get justice, what is the hope of a tomato seller? What is the hope of a roadside mechanic, what is the hope of an okada rider?

“The police will not rest; I will not rest until the police get the killers of Olaitan.”

The governor said the police as law enforcement officers must recognise that they have a duty to protect the citizens.

He said, “All of us must recognise that we are trustees for the Nigerian people. We must earn the position that we are privileged to occupy. Anywhere I see a police officer, I will keep saying it, and you must produce who killed Olaitan and explain why they bungled the investigations.

“I have said it to the Inspector-General of Police, I have said it to the President and if I have the opportunity I will say it to the United Nations.”
