Mother Of Brutally Murdered Twin On Hunger Strike

If you missed story of the brutal killing of Taiwo and Kehinde please click here, the distressed mother of the deceased twin brothers, who were shot to death alongside their friend, weekend  by a drunken mobile policeman, in front of Paulson Hotel in Ketu area of Lagos  has refused to eat since the incident.

Sleep has also eluded the 75 year-old woman, who only stares at sympathisers, who throng her relative’s home on Ojefemi Street to console her over the loss of her 34-year-old twin children.

The septuagenarian was sighted coming out from one of the apartments on 6, Ajefemi Street.  She cast a blank stare on everyone around, as she was ushered into a waiting vehicle to take her to Ogun State. Her two daughters and a family member joined her in the vehicle.

The septuagenarian’s in-law, Mr Segun Shodunke, said: “I am taking Mama to my house. The incident is so devastating. Taiye and Kehinde were like my biological children.

“Unfortunately, since the incident happened, the Police have not visited to console with Mama. We learned that the Commissioner of Police was at the hotel on Sunday, but he never came here.”

He also denied news that the deceased twins were cultists.

He said: “Taye was a naval man. He joined the Nigerian Navy about four years ago.  I don’t think a military man can join a cult because he has access to a gun by the  government. Kehinde  on his part was working at Mega Con Oil station at toll gate, as an account officer.

“Currently, the corpses are in Navy custody. They (naval personnel ) came this (yesterday)  morning to take them to their morgue. All we want is justice and I know that government knows what it is supposed to do.”

Naval sources said preparation was on to bury Taiwo. On whether Kehinde would also be buried by the Navy, naval sources said that would depend on the decision reached with members of the bereaved family.
