Photographer, Kola Aderogba has been buried amid tears after he was allegedly tortured to death

It was sadness, anger and mournful atmosphere in Ibadan as a photographer, Kola Aderogba was buried in Sango Cemetery, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday.

Aderogba was allegedly tortured to death by operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. At the ceremony, family members and friends of the victim rained curses on the suspected killers as they called for justice, saying his death must not be in vain.

Punch reported that Aderogba was buried in a wooden coffin around 2pm. His younger sister, Seyi, who spoke with PUNCH Metro amidst tears, said the 55-year-old was never married due to disappointments he had from women.

She said, “We want God to hasten judgement on the killers of my brother. If the judge of the world is slack and unjust, God does not use pen and paper and does not wear robes. He looks at people’s works and I want God to examine the works of these men. From this moment, I don’t want them to have rest. Although he was 55, he was never married due to disappointments he got from women. Our parents are late. He was the eldest of three children. My brother did not smoke hemp or cigarette. He was a quiet man.”

PUNCH Metro had reported that Kola was taking a concoction of herbs at a joint in the Challenge area, Ibadan, around 8.30pm on April 21, when a team of policemen raided the spot.

He was alleged to have been arrested together with four others. The men were taken to the SARS office at Dugbe, where they were allegedly tortured. They were said to have been interviewed by a senior officer, who reportedly cleared them of wrongdoing and asked that they be released after paying for bail.

It was learnt that the suspects paid between N25,000 and N40,000 before they were released. The victim, who, however, could not raise any money and had no one to come for him, was detained for seven days. On the seventh day, a member of his church negotiated who N5,000, paid N3,500. He later went to look for the balance of N1,500.

While the church member was away, the policemen were said to have ordered a motorcycle rider to take him home. He was reported to have slumped and died on the motorcycle.

A family member, Olaolu Adeyeye, told PUNCH Metro on Thursday that after Kola’s death, he reported the case to the police at the Orita division, adding that the policemen did not give him attention.

He said another family member contacted the police spokesperson in the state, who ordered the Orita division to issue the family a police report. He said, “When we returned to the station, the policemen gave us the report with which we deposited the corpse in a morgue.

“The next day, we returned to the station and they took our statements. They later transferred the case to the area command at Iyaganku. At the command, we were asked to make another statements after which we were asked to go and conduct an autopsy.

“We contacted the doctors at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, and we were asked to pay for the autopsy. When we called a few days later, we were told that the result was ready. They, however, refused to issue us a copy, saying they had sent it to the police.”

Adeyeye said he confirmed from the police that the report was indeed ready, adding that the command asked him to make a formal request for a copy from the hospital.

According to Punch, a mild drama ensued at the command when some suspects, who were purportedly in the same cell with the deceased, were brought out to deny the report that he was tortured.

The suspects reportedly stated that Kola injured himself in the cell by putting his legs in a shackle. A cousin of the victim, who did not want to be identified due to the presence of some cops at the scene of the burial, called for justice.

She said, “No man can escape death and that is the reason we should all fear God. We may have buried him now, but I know God does not sleep. He will give the right judgment.”

Criminals parading them selves as SARS......judgement day awaits all.

vas en paix bro

The poor die in vain

Lord save us from Nigeria and SARS.....anybody could be victim of this....SARS kills at will

When it comes to police case in Nigeria, they just keep dribbling and passing you around till you get tired.
Even after changing their uniform, their heart remains with the colour of the old uniform.

Armed criminals in police uniforms

The Zoo!

honestly


From my heart of hearts , i wish Sars will be cancelled , their impunity has no equal

these same people will harrass you over phone

harass you for carrying laptop

harass you for driving a neat car even if your company logo is on the site

they shot and killed 2 in lagos recently

killed a boy celebrating his birthday in Ife

shot and Injured 5 at osun state university ... On Campus for that matter

This has to end ,


It's 2017 not 1808 , Nobody tortures anybody in other sane countries

na wa o....

Nigeria...... a country where anything goes.

The zoological republic...
It is a taboo for the children of Chukwu okike abiama to live with men of darkness....

Rest in peace brother...till we meet at the cosmic gate..
Your God will never allow them go unpunished..



My heart goes to your love ones

Every thing in Nigeria is upside down

I think that when someone who is unjustly arrested is cleared, he will be apologized to or even to some extent will be paid damages? Yet in this anti-clockwise country you still bail yourself after unlawful/wrong arrest.
Una see why Mugabe say that Zimbabwe is more developed than Nigeria?

Nigeria is not a zoo, no, zoos have cages and rules. . . Nigeria is a wild jungle

Naika is jus dull
The police know the truth
But wud keep on asking for useless stattement
Look fuc the police
Leave the rest to nature.
Those SARS guys wud def be murdered in due time
U cant cheat nature
What goes around
Comes back at u
We all know SARS are the most useless criminals in the npf
Death waits all SARS in this guys death
Death waits for u guys
So live yur life cause soon u guys wud be wiped off the face of the earth.
Y kill innocent persons
Why
We need RPGs

But Buhari is the worst thing that can ever happen to any Country,

Hitler and Abacha will be smiling in their Graves.

We are insane country, things like this -although painful- will never end

Lawless land and lawless law enforcement

Sars is filled with cultists
And armed robbers.
We need to kill these bastards
Too many innocent ones have died in they hands.
SARS need to be wiped off the face of the earth without a trace

I disagree , People with one voice can march against oppression , We are the citizens, we can demand what we want

Why will this continue to happen? Because all our prominent people including religious leaders will never speak.

No politician will condemn this act, no General overseer will ask for justice. The poor will likely continue to die in the hands of police, and never will there be justice.

Never rest in peace, until you revenge your death. Chase your killers and those helping them to cover up to madness and to shameful death.

Why torturing a suspect in this century? Anybody that knows Ibadan will not and never doubt this story and anybody from outside ibadan that is in doubt should try and have an encounter with them.

The Police higher authorities to do something as this case is now the talk of the town.

This SARS guys are they graduate recruits or Ssce because they act like illiterate at times
