When you think the police drama is over regarding the murder of Remo Stars Football Club’s assistant captain, Kazeem Tiamiyu, something else crops up. Reports reaching Flavision said that his Lexus car, which he was driving before he died, was allegedly vandalised at the Owode Egba police station in Ogun State, where it was parked.

Father of the late footballer, Fasasi Tiyamiyu, told newsmen that after seeing his son’s body in the morgue, he asked for his car and upon seeing it, he asked the police to drive it to their station for safety, pending the end of investigations.

He said,

After I saw my son’s corpse in the mortuary, I told the police from Owode Egba police station that the car should be taken to the station for more investigation.

I was surprised today (Wednesday) when we went there and discovered that the car had been vandalised. The gear is not working again and some parts of the car are missing.

This is a car that was driven here and it is being towed out of the police station.

He told journalists that the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Criminal Investigation Department, Force Headquarters, Mr. Ogunyonbo Peter, had instructed the DPO of Owode police station, where the car was parked, to put back the car in working condition and take responsibility of the cost.
