at Apete Divisional Police Headquarters.
“In swift coordinated response to the information provided,
the Divisional Police Officer and a team of Crime and forensic detectives
approached the (3) Three-Bedroom block residence of the deceased and found his
remains glued to his beddings lying upward with no visible signs of struggle at
a glance.
“Preliminary findings from residents of the community and
the Driver’s license found in his wallet revealed that the deceased was indeed
Late Aderemi John Abiola and was last seen around 2018, a fact corroborated by
family members of the deceased when contacted by detectives of the Command
attached to the SCID.
“Furthermore, the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Police
Command, CP Adebowale Williams psc(+) fdc while appealing to well-meaning
members of the public for assistance regarding the provision of useful
information has also directed the immediate transfer of the case to the
Command’s apex investigation body, the State Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID).”

interest of public health and safety “to enable the completion of the
investigation aimed at demystifying the possible cause of death.
“Lastly, the case is actively monitored with the assurances
of detailed updates provided accordingly, please.”
