Hon. Alao- Akala Petitions IG, 4 Others Over Brutality Of Mr Olaide, Seeks Justice For Victim
Joel Ajayi
An Honourable Member Representing the good people of Ogbomoso South LG, Ogbomoso North LG, and Orire LG Hon. Olamijuwon Alao-Akala has Petitioned IG and four others over the Brutality of one Mr. Adebayo Olaide in Ogbomoso Oyo state that resulted to loss of a left eye and several damages in his right hand.
In the petition filed before the Green Chamber of National Assembly on Thursday in Abuja Hon. Akala said the IG and four others failed to comply with court orders twice on the matter.
He described the action against Mr Olaide as inhuman urging the National Assembly to Wade into the case.
In his petition, he said: “I moved a petition on behalf of Mr. Adebayo Olaide, a native of Ogbomoso, Oyo State on the floor of the House yesterday.”Mr. Adebayo was brutalized by the men of the Nigerian police force, Oyo State Command on the 25th of June, 2009, at Ayegbayun village, near Odo Oba, Ogooluwa L.G in Ibadan. This unfortunate incident led to a loss of sight in his left eye and bodily harm to his person.
“In suit no: M/554/2011, between Mr. Adebayo Olaide v. Inspector General of Police and four others, and Appeal No CA/1244/2013 between the Inspector General of Police and four others v. Mr. Adebayo Olaide; the courts unanimously delivered judgment in favor of Mr. Adebayo Olaide. But quite disturbingly, Mr. Olaide has neither got justice nor compensation for the assault meted out to him.”
Hon. Akala Said It is disheartening that Mr. Olaide has continued to live with this disability for the past 13 years due to the unprofessional attitude of police officers employed to protect Nigerians. In addition, the non-compliance of the court orders is disrespectful and unacceptable.
“As a Lawmaker, invested in justice and effective implementation of the law, I called on the House to wade into this case, by ensuring that the NPF respects court orders. While this may not restore Mr. Olaide’s sight, I believe that the award will go a long way in ensuring that he gets the justice that he deserves, while also setting precedence for like matters in the future.”

School Proprietress, Fatima Umukoro allegedly murdered by Her son
In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, Mrs. Fatima Umukoro, the proprietress of His Majesty Group of Schools in Sapele, Delta State, has been allegedly murdered by her own son, Emmanuel Umukoro.
The tragic incident, which occurred in the late hours of the night, has left the neighbours in a state of shock and bewilderment. Neighbors and passersby, who spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity, described the scene as gruesome and horrific.
According to eyewitnesses, the gate of the Umukoro residence was left open around 10pm, which was unusual. This prompted neighbors and passersby to check on the situation, only to discover fire coming from inside the house with the door left open. Upon entering the house, they found the lifeless body of Mrs. Umukoro, burnt beyond recognition.
A neighbor, who wished to remain anonymous, revealed that Emmanuel Umukoro was seen driving out of the compound around 8:30pm at a high speed in his mother’s car. This suspicion led to his apprehension by the Nigeria Police Force along Sapele-Warri Road as he attempted to escape to an unknown destination.
The motive behind the alleged murder is still unknown, and the police are yet to make an official statement on the matter. Calls to the Delta State Police PRO for comment were unsuccessful at the time of filing this report.
This tragic event raises disturbing questions about the state of humanity, parenting, and societal values. How did we get to this point? Is parenting failing? What can be done to correct these abnormalities in our society?
The answers to these questions remain elusive, but one thing is certain – urgent action is needed to prevent such heinous crimes from occurring in the future.
The community is still reeling from the shock of this tragedy, and the family of the late Mrs. Umukoro is left to pick up the pieces. As the investigation unfolds, one can only hope that justice will be served, and that this senseless act of violence will not go unpunished.
In a swift reaction, SP Bright Edafe, Police Spokesman in Delta state confirmed the incident disclosing that investigation was ongoing into the incident
