Army fails to identify soldiers involved in Oyo park killing

The Nigerian Army has yet to identify and produce soldiers involved in the killing of a 30-year-old fun seeker, Kehinde Adeleke, at Pete’s Bar and Lounge located on the premises of Trans Amusement Park in Agbowo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Kehinde was allegedly shot dead with the gun of a soldier attached to the Oyo State joint security outfit, Operation Burst.

The officer in charge of operations at Operation Burst headquarters in Ibadan, Captain Alkali Alkaleri, told PUNCH correspondent on the telephone on Thursday that the formation had no news on the soldiers involved in the killing.

PUNCH Metro learnt that Kehinde, his twin brother, Taiye, and their younger brother, Damola, had gone to the bar on Monday to have fun when an argument ensued between Damola and some visitors over the parking of a car they took to the facility.
