Nigeria: Family Appeals to Sanwo-Olu for Justice Over Murder of Lcda Staff, Idowu Keshinro

27 October 2024

The family of the late Idowu Keshinro, a former staff member of the Agbowa Council Development Area (LCDA) in Ota Ikosi Ejinrin, appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu due to fears that justice may not be served.

In a petition to Sanwo-Olu, the deceased's elder brother, Akeem Keshinro, explained that other suspects boast of having connections who will come to their aid.

The petition reads: "It is our further belief that; other persons who are still at large with their syndicate are now intensifying efforts to ensure that they and the aforementioned persons escape justice by way of perversion of the cause of justice in respect of the subject matter."

"Furthermore, we have the brief of our client that the said persons and one who is a brother to one of the defendants in the said charge continue to boast that the defendants would be released unconditionally as they claim to have a connection to few politicians who would lead them to the office of the Attorney General and or have enough money to access same to ensure the Attorney General.

"We believe that the office of the Attorney General is dignified sacred and clothed with honour and same deserves utmost respect or regard from all and sundry as the case may be. The noise to pervert the cause of justice at all cost in the above-mentioned charge has now become deafening in the circumstance of our client thereof Our client and members of his family are hapless and continue to live in perpetual despair and would suffer untoward agony in the event the above-mentioned persons make do of their boast and intention to escape justice in respect of the said charge."
