Sergeant Died After Being Hit By Driver Of Former Governor

Sergeant Adeleke Ogunsola was one of the policemen posted to the former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel’s house for security purposes.

According to report, policeman, Sergeant Adeleke Ogunsola, has died after being hit by an unnamed driver of a former Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel.

The incident happened on Saturday at Daniel’s Asoludero residence at Sagamu, Ogun State.

The accident reportedly occurred while the cop was opening the gate for Daniel’s driver. 

The former governor was, however, not in the car when the incident happened. 

A source told our correspondent that the gate suddenly ‘bounced back’ while it was being opened by the sergeant and he was knocked down by the driver. 

The policeman was thereafter rushed to a hospital where he died. 

Police sources, who spoke to our correspondent, expressed outrage at the death, saying the state command was plotting to sweep the incident under the carpet.

The cops, who did not want to be identified, expressed sadness that Ogunsola was turned to a gatekeeper at the house. 

According to them, another officer was once ‘sent out’ of the building over his refusal to be reduced to a gatekeeper in police uniform. 

“Why will an armed policeman be the one opening the gate? Why will politicians turn the police to their slaves? When an officer refused to be used as a gateman in the house, they called the DPO that he should change him and he was redeployed.
