“We are still in shock over such an untimely death caused by unethicality and non professionalism of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of Ogun State police command. It is highly condemnable. We ought to be celebrating the potentiality if the deceased if not for this untimely death”
“In our own little way, tomorrow’s training has been cancelled as we continue to mourn and pray for the family of the deceased and Remo Stars family”, he concluded.
