When a violent murder is committed like the one of Fatai Yusuf aka Oko Oloyun, a popular alternative medicine practitioner, many expect a full investigation by the Nigeria Police-suspects arrested, prosecuted and sentenced.

But this is not the case in Nigeria as family members of Oko Oloyun may never get closure because of Nigeria's failed invistigative and long, cumbersome judicial process.

Oko Oloyun was shot dead on the Eruwa-Igboora road in Ibarapa central area of Oyo state when his convoy was attacked by gunmen on Thursday.
Since his death, the Nigerian police has swung into investigation and Olugbenga Fadeyi, spokesman of the Oyo state police command, said after the discovery of fraud , there was a fire outbreak at Yusuf’s office which destroyed some account records.

The fire incident, he said, also lends credence to the belief that Yusuf was killed because of the fraud he supposedly detected.

He added that investigation is ongoing to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime and bring them to book.

It's good that the Nigerian police is conducting investigations on Oko Oloyun's murder.

However, down the years, the Nigerian police has shown its inability to resolve murders.

There have been numerous murders that were inconclusive and abandoned with the killers either roaming the streets or in jail awaiting trial.

Two political killings stands out-That of Bola Ige and Funsho Williams. The Nigerian police is yet to tell us who killed these duo and the family members are yet to get closure.

This closure unknown to many provides a bit of succour to family members knowing that the killers of their loved one have been put away in jail.
