DSS Pledges Justice For Policeman Allegedly Killed by Operatives

The Department of State Services (DSS) has promised to ensure justice over an alleged killing of a policeman by some of its officers.

Spokesman of the security agency, Dr. Peter Afunanya, in a statement, pledged that it would not condone any act of indiscipline or injustice and any perpetrator of evil activities must not go unpunished.

Afunanya stated; “The attention of the Department of State Services (DSS) has been drawn to the incident that led to the death of a Police Corporal in Osun State. Consequently, the service and the police are jointly investigating the matter.

“The public should be rest assured that it will not condone any act of indiscipline or injustice. It, therefore, calls on the media and other stakeholders to exercise patience and await the outcome of the investigations.”

The Osun State Police Command had declared an operative of the DSS, David Olowoporoku, and two others were perpetrators of the alleged attack on a Policeman named, Rauf Fawale, which resulted to his death.

Addressing newsmen at the state command headquarters on Tuesday, the police spokesperson, Yemisi Opalola, said the DSS leadership had informed the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Wale Olokode, of ongoing disciplinary action against those involved in the matter.

Corporal Fawale, a father of three attached to the Estate Police Division in Osogbo, on Sunday, January 24, 2021, died at a private hospital in Osogbo.
