Solomon Adeola, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Appropriations, has alleged that soldiers operating checkpoints around the Ikeja axis of Lagos Atate robbed and killed his aide, Adeniyi Oluwatosin Sanni, on Saturday, August 5, 2023.

Adeola made the revelation in a statement he signed and made available to reporters in Abuja through his media aide, Kayode Odunaro, on Monday, August 21.

Adeola disclosed that he had information that Sanni was stopped at a checkpoint around the Ojodu-Berger area of Lagos on his way to his home at Isheri by “security agents.”

He added that the deceased was asked to provide the documents of the car he was driving, which he did through a call to his wife, who sent all the documents to his phone through a WhatsApp message.

The senator noted that when the wife called a while later, the late husband told him soldiers were still checking the vehicle’s particulars.

Adeola revealed: “I am of the firm belief, based on available facts at the disposal of the Police, that my aide was killed by a syndicate of soldiers operating under the newly deployed Commander of 9 Brigade, Ikeja Cantonment of the Nigeria Army, Brigadier General Nsikan John Edet, through mounting of checkpoints and robbing of lone occupants of cars.

“Top police sources familiar with the investigation informed me that a similar brutal killing and armed robbery occurred around the same Ojodu- Berger late Thursday night of August 17, 2023, resulting in the killing of another Nigerian whose body was discovered around Iyana-Ipaja after he was taken away by soldiers from the checkpoint.

“Unknown to the soldiers, the occupant of the car they killed and took away his car was the second car in a convoy of two heading towards the same destination. The first car passed the soldiers’ checkpoint, but the second car was stopped to check his vehicle’s papers.

“On noticing the absence of the second car after a while, the occupant of the first car (name withheld) placed a call to his colleague in the second car, who informed him that he was being taken to Iyana-Ipaja by the soldiers at the checkpoint.”
