After 10 minutes, they called me back from the hospital that the man had given up.“When I got the call, I had to call the boy that was in the scenario to go to the station to report himself. He is at the station as I’m talking to you like this.”

When our correspondent reached out to the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, he stated that the DPO had not briefed him on the matter, stating that he would find out.“The DPO there has not sent the report to me. So I’ll find out,” Oyeyemi said.
