The family of the late Gbolahan Adedoyin has pleaded for 20million naira compensation from the state government for the loss of their son, who was reportedly killed by a stray bullet from Operation Burst operatives in the early hours of 25th October, 2020.
They made this plea before the Oyo State Judicial Panel of Inquiry on Police brutality led by Retired Justice Badejoko Adeniji in a petition with number OYJPPB/076.
The late Gbolahan Adedoyin was said to be returning from a night club outing in Mokola area, Ibadan on the fateful day in the company of five friends before he met his doom in Inalende area of the state capital.
During cross-examination of two witnesses, the deceased’s friend, Mr Olutayo Oladele and his uncle, Mr Adebiyi Ishola, the counsel to the respondent, Mr Kayode Babalola, argued that the deceased was probably poisoned and killed by his late night keeping friends as against the claim that he was killed by stray bullet from Operation Burst operatives.
After thorough consideration, the judicial panel adjourned the case indefinitely for proper response from the government
