#EndSARS: woman turns down officer’s sexual advances, husband gets tortured to death

An operative of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, Ondo State Police Command, Ojelabi Oladele has been accused of torturing one Seun Ayoade to death.

The wife of the deceased, simply identified as Gbemisola, pointed fingers at Oladele because of her refusal to grant his sex request while she was married to the deceased.

In an interview, Gbemisola alleged that her deceased husband and Oladele were friends, and during her marriage with Ayoade, Oladele had pressured her for sex which she repeatedly declined.

Gbemisola said she repeatedly turned down Oladele’s request on grounds that she’s married, and not just that, she’s married to someone who’s Oladele’s friend.

According to Gbemisola, turning down Oladele’s advances didn’t go well with him as he framed-up her late husband, got him arrested on October 12th and had him tortured to death while in SARS detention.

Gbemisola further revealed that Oladele dumped Ayoade’s corpse at the morgue of the Ondo State Specialist Hospital in Akure. He lied to attendants that the deceased died as a result of gunshot wound he sustained during a duel with the police.

Her words; “I can’t just imagine how a friend to my man [Mr. Ayoade] will be asking me for sex. It is very disgusting. Many times he [Mr. Oladele] asked me to go out with him, but I always tell him ‘no’ and that I can’t do it. Because I turned down his offer, he then decided to punish Mr Ayoade by calling him a criminal, hence his arrest and detention at the SARS office. And despite all this, Inspector Oladele is still threatening to deal me just because I refused to allow him to sleep with me. They have now killed my husband in their detention center with cooked-up lies that he was an armed robber who died during a gun duel with some police officers.”

In a reaction to Gbemisola’s outcry, the Ondo State Police Command’s Spokesperson, Femi Joseph, assured that the officer would face the law if he is found culpable of the allegation.

He said, “The Police Commissioner has ordered full-scale investigations into the ongoing case. Although it is an allegation, a panel has been set up, and investigations have begun to unravel the truth of the matter. And if the culprit [officer] is found guilty then he is going to face the prosecution and full wrath of the law.”
