Protesters Ibadan and deceased
The protesters with the deceased body, yesterday.

Mr Odunayo Alade, the father of the Ibadan slain student, Kehinde Paul Alade, has said he is not a kidnapper.

A stray police bullet, on Tuesday, killed Kehinde, a 14-year-old student in the Alakia area of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

In its reaction to the killing, the Oyo State Police Command, through its Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, said, “the officers suspected possible criminal activity or a case of abduction.”

Reacting, Alade faulted the Oyo State police, saying, “I am not a Kidnapper. I was surprised to hear that police said they suspected a case of abduction. I am not a Kidnapper.”

“I demand justice. Justice must be served on this matter,” he said.
