Police, Eyewitnesses Give Conflicting Reports On Tunde Sunmonu’s Death
..Family Demands Justice
Admin
Abdulrahman Olatunde Sunmonu, 37 years old was a transporter based in Sagamu Ogun State.
On Friday 31st July, a friend called him for a meeting at the GRA in Sagamu. He immediately prepared for the meeting and told his children to stay indoors and that he would soon be back home.
Hours after he left home, Olatunde’s children called one of their uncles, Mr. Dejola Awosanya, and another of their relatives to say they couldn’t reach their dad on phone and he had not returned home.
The uncle and their relative waited for 24 hours as stipulated by law for missing persons then on Sunday 2nd August they reported the case at the Sagamu Divisional Police Station. The police promised to investigate the matter.
By Tuesday 4th August, policemen from the Sagamu Police Station called Mr. Dejola Awosanya to give the most unpleasant news – Tunde Sunmonu was dead.
The DPO showed the family Tunde’s driver’s license and vehicle particulars and Tunde’s picture in the morgue and told the family that Tunde’s vehicle was towed to the station because they couldn’t find the key.
Police Report Versus Eye Witness Account
Police Account
According to the report of the police, there was an accident at the GRA. A man hit a woman’s vehicle from the rear and there was an argument between the man and the woman. Tunde was right behind them told them to take their vehicles off the road.
The man left the woman to argue with Tunde, broke Tunde’s car headlamp, and then attacked him with a baseball bat. He hit him several times with the bat until Tunde’s skull was broken. When he saw that he was unconscious, he rushed him to the nearby hospital and transferred money to the doctors and left for the police station to report that he hit Tunde in self-defense.
The police said they are investigating the matter.
Eye-Witness Account
Tunde and the culprit were friends. In fact, the culprit was the one who made the call the day Tunde went missing to invite him to a party at the home of the Chairman of a local government, Gbenga Badru.
They were at the party when aimed issues came up and Tunde decided to run away from the chairman’s house, leaving his car behind. Some guys ran after him, caught up with him and beat him to a coma.
The vigilante came to his rescue and called in the police who arrested the culprit with the murder weapon (baseball bat) and a dagger. Tunde was taken to Idera hospital (a private hospital) at the Ajaka area of Sagamu on 31st July and died on 2nd August 2020.
The family is asking the following questions:
Why was a delay of at least two days without the police informing the family?
Why did the police tag Tunde as an unidentified person whereby they had all his information (his driver’s license and vehicle particulars taken from his vehicle).
Why were his 2 phones taken and later returned by one of the culprits that ran away when the vigilante got there?
* Why did the DPO release only one phone to the family?
* Why is the local government chairman, Mr. Banjo Baruwa in a hurry to bail the culprit?
Tunde Sunmonu was the first son of Hakeem Sunmonu and the only child of Yetunde Ajose-Akano. Please help them get justice by sharing this story until the Commissioner of Police Ogun State hears about it. The IG too must hear so that the police at the station in Sagamu will not change the narratives. Thank you
