On 14 October 2023, a Nigerian police officer identified as Joseph Fidus was attacked and killed by armed robbers in his residence in lyana Cele, Sango area of Ogun State.
She said Mr Fidus couldn’t retaliate because they were about seven, he was only pleading with them to take whatever they wanted and not to hurt him and his family. With the help of the Chairman of Olaoluwa Community Development Association , Dele Adesugba, Mr Fidus was taken to the nearest medical centre: Rubee Hospital around 1:00 a.m., according to Mrs Fidus.
“After waiting from around 3:30 a.m., my husband gave up at about 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, 15 October 2023. “I would have recorded our conversation with the first hospital we even told him that he is a police officer, but they insisted.”When contacted, the DPO Ifo Police Station, Ayinde Abiodun, where the armed robbery case was reported confirmed the case has been transferred to the state’s Criminal Investigation Department .
