We went to Alaba Suru and
searched, but we didn’t find him. So, we reported at the Layeni Police Station
which was close to the place. They told me they saw his corpse on the road and
they had taken him to the mortuary.

I want the police to make a thorough
investigation into my son’s killing. I believe some people killed him and took
his corpse to Suru Alaba to make it look like he was killed there. He was a
gentle and hardworking son who had been preparing for his NYSC when these
wicked people took him somewhere and killed him.”

“Even the bride, who works in the
company and in whose honour the party was held, asked him if he was going to
see a girl or a man, but he didn’t answer. He just said he had to leave the
party because the call was urgent,” the source said.
