Corporal kills, buries inspector over N300,000
A police corporal, Daramola
Tosin, attached to the Ekiti
Police Division in the Ekiti
Local Government Area of
Kwara State, has been
dismissed from the Force for
allegedly killing an
inspector, Mr. Lateef
Shuaib.Tosin allegedly shot
Shuaib after secretly
withdrawing up to N300,000
from Shuaib’s bank account
without his consent.
SHEROTECH learnt that
Shuaib had entrusted Tosin
with his Automated Teller
Machine card when he fell
ill.The suspect was said to
have initially withdrawn
money for the use of the
father of two.
However, it was learnt that
the suspect started taking
money in bits from the
account for his own use until
he withdrew up to
N300,000.Shuaib was said to
have chided him for the
action.
The inspector was reportedly
defecating when Tosin shot
him dead with an AK-47 rifle
and buried him at the back of
a police barracks.
The victim’s sister, Sherifat
Hammed, was said to have
reported to the Osi Police
Station on May 10, 2016, that
Shuaib had been missing
since May 6.
Hammed said she suspected
Tosin because her elder
brother informed her when
he was sick that he entrusted
his UBA ATM card to the
suspect to help him in
withdrawing money.
The Kwara State
Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Sam Okaula, said when the
matter was brought to his
attention he ensured that
discreet investigation was
conducted, adding that the
suspect was
arrested.According to him,
the corporal confessed to the
crime and was dismissed.
Our correspondent learnt
that the corporal was made
to face an orderly-room trial
for leaving his place of duty
and for discreditable conduct
and was found guilty.The CP
said, “We do not condone
crime. We go after anyone
including members of the
Force who go out of their
way to commit crime. We
will investigate and
prosecute them if found
culpable and ensure we gain
conviction. This particular
dastardly act will not be an
exception.”
The suspect was arraigned
on Tuesday before a
magistrate’s court in
Ilorin.According to the First
Information Report obtained
by our correspondent in
Ilorin, the Kwara State
capital, the suspect buried
the late inspector at the back
of the Osi Police Barracks.
It said, “Investigation
conducted at the Criminal
Investigation and
Intelligence Department,
Ilorin, revealed that on May 6
at about 10pm, while
Inspector Lateef Shuaib was
defecating inside the bush,
very close to the barracks at
the Osi Police Station, you
Daramola Tosin, callously and
viciously traced him to the
bush and shot him with your
AK-47 rifle that led to his
untimely death and you later
buried him inside the bush at
the back of Osi Police
Barracks without the
knowledge of anybody.”
The FIR said the offences
were culpable homicide,
breach of trust and theft, and
were contrary to sections
221, 312 and 289 of the
Penal Code.
When the case was called
up, the police prosecutor,
Inspector James Odaodu, said
the offence of murder was
capital in nature, adding that
the suspect could not be
admitted to bail.He prayed
the court to remand the
suspect in prison custody.
The magistrate, Mr. Nurudeen
Adeyanju, who did not take
the plea of the accused, said
his court lacked jurisdiction
to entertain the matter since
it was a murder charge.
He added that it should be
handled by the high
court.He, however, ordered
that the accused be
remanded at the Federal
Prison, Mandalla.The case
was adjourned till June 21,
2016, for mention.
Meanwhile, Shuaib’s wife,
Mosunmola , 47, of Ife,
Olukotun, in the Yagba East
of Kogi State, said the death
of her husband by someone
he trusted was devastating
to the family.
She stated that their children,
Kudirat, 23, and Sadiat, 20,
had been traumatised by the
calamity.She, however,
commended the CP and
other officers of the
command for the
investigation and the
arraignment of the
accused.Mosunmola said she
was hopeful that justice
would be done.
