The Divisional Police Officer
(DPO) of Yaba Police Station in Ondo town, DSP Mustapha Aminu has reportedly
died after a fetish object was placed in front of his office last week.
The premises of the Police
station was thrown into mourning as different versions of the cause of his
death is tearing the officers apart.
While the Ondo state police
command said the late officer died in an auto-accident, some officers who spoke
under the condition of anonymity said he died in sleep in controversial
circumstances.
The late Mustapha was transferred
from Irele division to Yaba last week.
He was, however, said to be
facing some administrative problems in his new station.
An officer with the station who
spoke on the condition of anonymity said a fetish object known as “ebo” in
Yoruba was last week placed in front of the DPO’s office.
The source said this necessitated
an emergency prayer meeting at the vicinity of the station against any
misfortune among the officers.
The source claimed Mustapha who
was hale and hearty before going to bed on Saturday later died in his sleep at
Irele where he stays with his family.
But the state police image maker,
Femi Joseph dismissed reports that DSP Aminu died in his sleep.
Joseph said the late officer whom
he described as very hardworking died in a car crash at Omifon axis on the way
to Irele after the close of work.
He also described as mischievous
reports that fetish object was placed in front of his office last week.
Joseph commiserated with the
family of the late officer, saying his death was a big blow and loss to the
command.
It was gathered that his son was
also in the Toyota Camry car in which the deceased was traveling. The son
however did not die in the accident but sustained injuries.
Effort to get in touch with the
family was abortive as relatives of the deceased declined to speak on the cause
of his death.
