Friday, November 14, 2025 - Samuel Akingboye, the eldest son of the former Ondo State governorship candidate and prominent businessman, Otunba Bamidele Akingboye, known as OBA, has called out Lagos State police command for allegedly hiding his father’s autopsy result.
Speaking in a statement obtained on Thursday, Samuel
questioned the motive of the Lagos state Commissioner of police, Olohundare
Jimoh.
He claimed that police hid the autopsy result from him who
is the complainant but secretly invited his stepmother without him being
present.
While insisting that the CCTV footage suggested that the
late politician was murdered, he described the commissioner of police’s move as
“an attempt to dilute, or divert the investigation”.
He also claimed that his stepmother and her children have
started selling their father’s properties amid the ongoing police
investigation.
While calling on the Inspector General of Police, IGP
Egbetokun, Ondo state governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa and the general public to
intervene, he said, “I have received indirect and direct death threats from my
stepmother, her younger brother and her children owing to my pursuit of truth
over my father’s death.
“I am making a public appeal for support, protection, and
intervention from Nigerians, institutions, and human rights defenders. This
process has taken an enormous emotional, financial, and psychological toll,
intensified by what appears to be unequal access to resources and influence.
They are fighting this investigation with the resources stolen from my father’s
account.
“I maintain that the CCTV footage and post mortem findings
reportedly point to violent circumstances surrounding my father’s death
suggesting an obvious case of murder. If there is nothing to conceal, I call
for these to be released immediately and transparently.
“I also express deep concern over what appears to be an
attempt to frustrate, dilute, or divert the investigation.
“The Commissioner of Police refused to communicate the
findings of the autopsy to me as the complainant till date, and When I was
eventually invited, I discovered that the opposing side had already been
engaged. They had reportedly visited the CP office on Tuesday, while I was
invited on Friday.
“The rationale behind this approach remains a mystery, in
that, I had the impression that both parties should be on seat to get briefing
from the CP on the result and other findings.
“Meanwhile, actions have reportedly commenced by parties of
interest (my stepmother and her children) to access, alter, or transfer assets,
property documents, and business holdings belonging to my late father, even
while the investigation is yet to be concluded and he is still in the morgue”,
he said.
