Beer Parlour Owner Beaten To Death By Police

Some callous police officers in Ondo state police command have brutally beaten a 50-year-old widow to death.

The widow, Aderonke Eze, was the owner of a ‘mini beer parlour joint’ close to her house in Akure, Ondo state and was killed by unrepentant policemen using a gun butt according to Sahara report.

The corpse of the deceased, who resided at No. 1, Akinyemi Street, off Ijoka road, Sijuwade close in Akure, was dumped at the general hospital’s morgue in Akure by the police officers numbering about seven.

Reports say the police officers stormed the street at about 6:45 pm on Sunday in a Hilux van marked NPF 4236 B from the Oda Divisional Station and were purportedly carrying out an illegal house check with an aggressive search of all residential apartments on the street.

According to residents of the area, the policemen had been in the habit of raiding the street and making arrests of young boys suspected to be smoking marijuana, or ‘Indian hemp’, in order to identify their specific houses in the neighbourhood.

Ibrahim Adegunle, an eyewitness, said: “Even the woman was not at that home when they [the policemen] stormed the building. She went for a ceremony in the second street but fortunately, she arrived and met us arguing with the policemen.
