Mr Babatunde was accused of theft by his employers and taken into custody for interrogation but unfortunately,he didn't survive whatever ordeal he passed through inside where ever he was held.
He died and his colleagues and friends are crying out for justice.
This is the message in circulation.
''Please spread the news until it gets to the Inspector General of Police. An Ecobank staff of Ladipo Oluwole branch Ogba Lagos was tortured to death today by the police at Falomo Divisional HQ Lagos. He left a 2 year and 5 mth old baby. He was accused of theft of 1.2m and was picked up this morning. Thank you all. #JusticeForBabatunde''
RIP to him.

ReplyDelete1.2 million is the reason these hungry and desperate looking, twenty naira beggers should torture someone to death?....issorit my country....wonder the kind of orientation they get at training....
ReplyDeleteEcobank though....
May his soul rest in perfect peace Amen.
Everyday na so so bad news we just de hear from this our country! O gini di?? If no be bank fraud, na rape, murder of all types, trigger happy policemen and those who flex muscles on suspects. Why didn't they charge the case to court even if he is guilty, let the court decide. This one na double wahala for dead body oh.
ReplyDelete1.2m and he met his death? Ahh, the bank and the police have a serious case to answer to here.

ReplyDeleteI wonder why the Nigerian police can't ever catch all these politicians and people in government that are stealing our money in billions daily.
When it comes to the common man, them go get mouth. Nonsense!
Chai such a promising young man_hope he gets justice! Even if he was guilty no1's gonna talk about it anymore,how will d bank get back wotever they accused him of defrauding 'em for? Wot's d point now? There shoulda been a limit to d torture,cos whoever was torturing him must have noticed he was reaching his breaking point buh still continued torturing him,no1 has d right to take someone else's life no matter what.
ReplyDeleteAnd no one has d right to bear a sentence as a name,its equally a crime.
DeleteI weep for my country!lost for words...hmmm
ReplyDeleteR.I.P The Nigerian Police are just too aggressive for my liking. Military is even WORST. Mtcheeeew.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe this . Poor soul , naija no be better place I swear
ReplyDeleteSomeone should please help his wife get a good lawyer to sue the bank. This is not the first time Ecobank is locking up its staff in the name of Atm cash theft without proper investigation. Because they feel that there are no jobs outside, so they can do anything to us. Staff welfare is zero and inhuman in this Bank. Perhaps if they are sued and made to pay heavily for their crimes for once, they will learn their lesson. They hate bad publicity but they have principalities and powers who will never do the right thing. Can we count the number of colleagues they have locked up for flimsy reasons? Let's take this to the media homes too. They need to be exposed so the world knows who they really are. Pan African bank my ***
ReplyDeleteU sef resign and stop ranting. Wats the difference between u and the wife whose husband keeps on battering her and still seats tight.mshew!!!!!!
DeleteMiserable Nigeria police, sadistic torturers!! RIP young man, so sorry for the wife and young kids. SDK na so so bad news person de see today.

ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria ........will an accused but not proven guilty, be tortured to his death in a bid to coerce him into admitting to a crime he may not have committed.....
ReplyDeleteOnly in Nigeria!
F..ked up country! Messed up.
Meanwhile someone who stole billions, masquereded as a woman back to naija , is already running for a post in the senate. He wasn't tortured in anyway, he was patted on the back and granted a presidential pardon.
That's the country we live in!
what?? what is wrong the nigerian police for heaven's sake.

This is d story and details I
ReplyDeletegathered so far: ( sources:his
younger brother and an inlarw
to his widow)
Tunde was accused of a missing
1.2million from eco bank, ladipo
where he worked sometime late
last year. He was asked to refund
the money amount.
According to Tunde den
someone posted d money with
his system. However Tunde made
effort to repay d money, his
accouny was put on hold and
that of his wife who works with
the bank was also put on hold.
(they could no longer make
withdrawals from their acct).
Tunde was able to to repay 600k
before d events that led to his
arrest.
On sunday d 16th of feb, Tunde
had a fire accident in his
residence, his generator
exploded, leaving burns in his
hands and legs. Tunde went with
d burns to the office on monday
to show his branch manager and
explain d fact that he wont be
able to stay at work for the day.
On tuesday 18th feb Tunde was
on his way to clinic and some
persons ecobank called his wife
to inform her that they were
coming to arrest her at her
branch since d husband has
absconded. She quickly placed a
call to her husband to inform him
and her husband reported
immediately to work abandoning
his treatment due to the threat.
Tunde was arrested at work on
Tuesday and taken to the
divisional headquarters at Ikoyi
where he was locked up for 3
days. All efforts to get his bail
went futile as the police insisted
that based on d instruction of
the bank, they must get the
outstanding.
His lawyer was asked to bring 1
million and he told dem bail was
free and he cant raise such. In
the course of arguement the
police escalated d debt to 2.4
million and the lawyer reminded
them he only had an outstanding
of 600k.
Tunde was tortured as usual by
the police in the cell and on
thursday morning his mother
inlaw and brother visited the
station, but was again urged by
d police to quickly go and get
money. They went to use the atm
and on their way back, they saw
an ambulance and wen they
peeped into it, they saw Tunde's
cloths drenched in blood, his
mouth foaming and it was also
discovered later that a coke
bottle cover was placed in his
pocket. The police started
alleging poison that he took a
poisonous coke.
Now am wondering, poison from
where? This is the story so far.
We are waiting for autopsy
results but the media must be at
alert... the process must b
corruption free. Eco bank and the
NPF will be doing all they can to
bribe as many as possible....any
one who takes bribe on this
issue will die a miserable death
in Jesus name.
Thank you very much for this piece of information. Because of this singular act of wickedness, I pity ecobank this season cos they will so lose customers. Justice should be sought on this case cos as I de now, na vex I de. What is this nonsense sef. Everyday, its one bad news and it must be the NPF. Asory will be their second name. Poisonous coke? From where? Is this how they protect their citizens? Infact boko haram should start bombing their hqtrs and all their police stations!! Pikin wey sey im mama no go sleep, im too no go sleep. Our problems in this country are the NPF and the Politicians!!!BASTARDS!!! E no go better for any of them at all. Let me see what pepeye Ngozi braide has to say to regarding this. As usual no comment from her end. And whoever tortured this guy to his death, I pity your life this year alone.
DeleteI am not a banker, but what we suffer in the hands of these useless mofos is getting too much. Idiots!!!
What a life. Either way they are responsible for his death. If they are alleging that he drank a poisonous bottle of coke, no problem. Who gave him the coke to drink? As long as it wasn't any of his family member, then the police should explain from where they bought the so called poisonous coke. Who handed him the coke? He was locked up, hence couldn't have controlled whatever he consumed. Even when outsiders bring food for anyone in detention, they always ask that they taste it first. (in Nigeria). So what's this lie about? If the autopsy shows that he died from poison, police are to blame. If it shows that he was tortured to death, they are to blame still. Either way they will not go unpunished. Tunde' s blood will speak vengeance. No rest for the police force and Eco bank until justice prevails. Bloody bastards.
Deletenaija!! he died in custody after bn accused of stealing 1.2million,whereas we have politicians whining and dinning on the labour of nigerians, there are organizations responsible for the sudden disappearance of billions of naira,yet no1 is taken into custody there.

ReplyDeleteI say this all the time,npf should be scraped off. I hate them with so much passion emphasis's on the word hate..
ReplyDeletethey take laws into there hands. Pull the trigger anyhow and kill people. Torture people to death. So many people die in that cell bt no one hears abt it. Very wicked and wretched people looking for 20 naira to collect all the time..
The families should sue the bank and police force,and they should get a damn good lawyer. Oh,what's will the wife do now? And the poor little kids? Over 1.2m. When people are stealing billions in dollars and walk away Scot free with out even going close to the police station
#rubbish
they better sentence those police to death.. Idiooooots
