UPDATE: Ecobank Bank Staff Buried Amids More Controversy

By -
Ecobank Nigeria Plc worker, Babatunde Oke, who died in police custody in Lagos under controversial and questionable circumstance, has been buried. He was laid to rest in his hometown in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State last Saturday afternoon as the family vowed to unravel the cause of his death.

Babatunde died after being detained at the Falomo Police Division over the missing of N1.2m. Ecobank had alleged that while he was the head teller at their Ladipo branch, Babatunde took the sum from the ATM.

He was locked up, pending when he would pay back the money. While his relatives were reportedly making all arrangements for his bail, he was said to have ordered for a bottle of soft drink which led to his death.


But Babatunde's widow, Ebun, had petitioned the National Assembly to investigate the cause of her husband’s death, adding that Babatunde could not have taken soft drink because he did not like it.
The family lawyer, Segun Akinloye, of Adeyinka Adetosoye and Co, told Punch on Sunday that the corpse of the deceased was released to the family on Saturday for burial.

He said the family is worried about delay in the result. A letter addressed to Chief Pathologist, Department of Pathology, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, and dated March 13, 2014, expressed the anxiety of the family over the delay in the result of the autopsy. They want to know what killed him in police custody.

“We hereby request a comprehensive detail on what has been going on so far. And also to know what is the cause in the delay of the result if the samples were actually taken,” the letter reads.
