Lagos State Police Command has refuted an allegation that Ayomide Adeleye, who killed Christiana Idowu has been set free by the police, saying that the suspect has been charged to court and is currently remanded in Kirikiri prison.
The Command made this known in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin.
Ayomide is standing trial on kidnapping and unlawful killing in Magistrate Court 13A, Ikeja, Lagos
The statement reads, “We can confirm that Ayomide Adeleye was charged with murder and was remanded for the same offence.”
“It is also a fact that another person bearing the same name was remanded for a different offence and released in April 2024, long before the Ayomide we are talking about committed his offence. An outfit that prides itself on investigation should live up to its name. Relying on ‘sources’ rather than the spokesperson of the Correctional Service would land you in this kind of misinformation”, the statement added.
