The family of a 28-year-old commercial motorcyclist, Saheed Ganiyu Ayinde, has petitioned the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, accusing officers of the Divisional Police Headquarters in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, of extra-judicial killing, torture, extortion, and professional misconduct
The family in the petition addressed through their lawyer, Olaniyi Oladuni, and submitted to both the IGP and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, called for an urgent probe into the “gruesome murder” of their son while in police custody.
According to the family, Ayinde, popularly known in his area as an Okada rider, lived at the back of the Ago-Iwoye Police Station in Abobi, Ijebu North Local Government Area of Ogun State.
His ordeal, according to the petition, began on September 27, 2025, at about 4am, when six men, described as a father and his sons, stormed his residence.
The men claimed they had been robbed hours earlier at their home on Mohammed Villa, Olowookere Street, Ago-Iwoye, and that their phones were carted away.
They alleged that Ayinde, who they described as someone who ran errands for them, must know those responsible for the robbery.
The family said that before Ayinde could defend himself, he and his roommate, Ige Ojeyinka, who owned the motorcycle Ayinde used for work, were arrested and taken to the Ago-Iwoye Divisional Police Headquarters.
Upon arrival, the family alleged, a police officer at the station, identified as Inspector Yakub Adams, immediately handcuffed, chained, and threw Ayinde into a police cell.
The petition noted that Ojeyinka, who shared the same cell with the deceased, claimed that Inspector Adams subjected Ayinde to brutal torture shortly after their detention.
Ojeyinka told Ayinde’s family that around 8:00 am, Inspector Adams took the deceased out of the cell to a room nearby and began beating him with a rod and a cutlass, adding that the torture lasted about 30 minutes.
According to the petition, efforts by a resident identified as Oguntoye, who witnessed the initial arrest, to secure bail for both detainees around 9:00 am were rejected by Inspector Adams.
The family further stated that at about 2:00 pm, Inspector Adams returned and took Ayinde out again for another round of severe torture.
Ojeyinka recounted hearing the deceased crying loudly, saying “Iya yi po, kuku pa mi”, translated as “This torture is unbearable, kill me.”
When Ayinde was returned to the cell, the petition stated that his clothes were soaked in blood.
Ojeyinka claimed that he had to use rags to mop the blood flowing from Ayinde’s body as he groaned in pain.
Minutes later, another suspect in the cell alerted them that Ayinde had stopped breathing.
Ojeyinka said he immediately called out to Inspector Adams, but the officer allegedly ignored him.
According to the petition, it was a female officer at the counter who later rushed to the cell after hearing the inmates’ screams.
She reportedly called Inspector Adams, informing him that Ayinde had died, to which he allegedly replied, “Se eyan ku loju e ri ni?”, meaning, “Have you not seen someone die before?”
The petition stated that Inspector Adams later moved Ojeyinka and other suspects to another cell before he and other officers carried Ayinde’s blood-soaked body away to an unknown location.
In a puzzling twist, Ojeyinka said he was unexpectedly released without bail conditions or further instructions in the early hours of the following morning.
The family described the actions of Inspector Adams, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO), and others involved as “patently mundane, outrightly ludicrous and tantamount to violation of fundamental human rights.”
“This case presents a serious miscarriage of justice, abuse of power and a flagrant violation of fundamental human rights contrary to the constitutional mandate of the Nigeria Police Force to protect lives, uphold justice and safeguard the dignity of every person,” the family stated.
The family maintained that Ayinde was falsely accused, noting that nothing incriminating was found on him at the time of the arrest and that he was taken while sleeping in his room.
They expressed faith in the justice system, stating that despite the “dastardly actions” of the officers, they have chosen the legal route over self-help.
The family urged authorities to intervene immediately, warning that failure to act could trigger “looming danger” as tensions rise over the incident.
In their demands, the family stated, “We pray for the intervention of your office and cause a full-scale investigation into the matter for justice to be served.
“Guarantee the safety and protection of Ige Ojeyinka, who is a living witness to the murder of Late Saheed Ganiyu Ayinde.
“The police should produce the clothes worn by Late Saheed Ganiyu Ayinde when he was in the cell.
“Take a proportionate disciplinary action against any officer(s) who may have acted criminally and compromised their responsibilities as enshrined in the laws of the land.”
The family added, “We thank you for your anticipated urgent and quick response and continued dedication to justice, peace and development of our nation.”

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has scrapped special concessions and registration procedures previously granted to candidates with albinism for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, citing abuse of the privilege to perpetrate examination malpractice.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The Board also warned faith-based tertiary institutions to clearly declare their religious status at the point of admission, saying it is deceptive to present as secular and later impose religious rules on students.
As reported by Vanguard, these decisions were taken on Saturday at a meeting between JAMB management, led by its Registrar, Prof. Isaq Oloyede, and Commissioners for Education from the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, held in Ikeja, Lagos.
Oloyede said the meeting was convened to review and assess previous admission exercises.
He noted that despite safeguards introduced by the Board, some individuals remained determined to circumvent the system.
“We have stopped some concessions we gave albino candidates. This is because some are using artificial intelligence to manipulate the registration process to look like they are albinos because of the consideration we gave them.
“Last year alone, over 7,000 claimed to be albinos. We have stopped special registration procedures for albinos,” he said.
Addressing complaints from candidates admitted into some private institutions over compulsory religious instruction, Oloyede urged faith-based schools to be transparent.
“Faith-based institutions should declare from the onset what they are, so that whoever applies there will know what he is going to meet there. But some don’t do that. They will pretend to be secular, but once students are admitted, trouble will begin over religious instruction and injunctions.
“If you are a faith-based institution, say so. The law allows you to set up faith-based schools,” he said.
On last year’s UTME, where the highest-scoring candidate was later found to be a 300-level university student, the JAMB registrar said investigations showed that some undergraduates sit for the examination to change courses or assist others to secure admission.
“Students who are already in school but want to change courses and are applying again must declare and disclose their status.
“We have found that some candidates already in school are writing the examination for other candidates. Last year, the candidate who scored the highest was found to be a 300-level student in the university.
“Henceforth, any candidate found engaging in such an act, and who fails to disclose that he is already in school but wants to change course, will be disqualified and will also lose his current admission,” he said.
On admission criteria, Oloyede explained that federal government-owned institutions allocate 45 per cent on merit, 20 per cent on catchment area, 20 per cent to educationally disadvantaged states, while the remaining slots are allocated to other considerations.
“Each owner or state has the right to decide what its admission criteria will be. But for states, we encourage them to allocate at least 10 per cent to merit, regardless of where the candidates come from.
“This is to diversify the student population and admit eggheads from different communities,” he said.
He criticised some states for establishing new universities despite not fully utilising their admission quotas in existing federal institutions.
On underage candidates, Oloyede said 16 years remained the minimum admission age, noting that an attestation process was in place for exceptional cases.
“Last year, about 42,000 claimed to be underage. After evaluation, only 78 met the criteria and were admitted. We are not saying there are no talented candidates, but the figure looks outlandish,” he said.
The issue of how to engage underage candidates during a gap year divided opinions at the meeting, but a majority voted for JAMB to continue its special assessment process.
The meeting also observed that parental pressure on children to complete their education too quickly was a major contributor to the problem.
On efforts to curb examination malpractice, Oloyede said JAMB had stopped the movement of computers between Computer-Based Test centres.
“A computer registered in a particular centre will remain there and is not transferable to another centre. Some people borrow computers to get accredited and later move them around,” he said.
He dismissed claims that candidates were posted to towns they did not choose, saying personal data used for registration were drawn directly from the National Identification Number submitted by candidates.
Providing an update on the 2025 UTME, Oloyede said 974,855 candidates had so far been admitted out of about 1.95 million who sat for the examination.
He added that over N2.4 billion had been disbursed to institutions that consistently complied with JAMB’s rules over the past 10 years, and that the meeting agreed that schools producing the best candidates should be compensated.
On accreditation of CBT centres, Oloyede said the process involved teams comprising university vice-chancellors, rectors and provosts in each state.
He warned state governments against agreements with private promoters who might use centres to facilitate malpractice.
