The family made the demand in a statement signed by its lawyers: Adegbesan Adenola Esq., Ogunsanmi Abisoye Esq. and the family’s spokesman, Ganiyu Tiyamiyu.
The family refuted the reports on the alleged killing released by the Nigeria Police Force, insisting that SARS operatives pushed the late Kaka off a speeding police vehicle.
The family spokesman said, “Contrary to the claim by the police that the deceased was always dressed in military uniform, he was not in any military uniform neither has he ever worn any military uniform.
“Further to this, there are a lot of questions begging for answers on the mode and procedure of the arrest that will be addressed in the course of trial.

“Such have been claiming the lives of innocent citizens without any form of deterrent whatsoever.
“This is another case begging and crying for justice and we hereby demand the immediate investigations and diligent prosecution of this case.”
