On Saturday, his family members were informed that he had died in police custody.
In a viral video taken at the deceased’s house, family members could be seen crying and mourning his death.
In the video, Aishat Biola, the older sister of Abdulquadri, narrated how his brother was deceived from the house and whisked away by some police officers.
“My younger brother is the one who was killed. We were all here making jokes when they came to pick him up,” she said.
“They sent people to deceive him away from here. Those who came to carry him away were on the road waiting.”
Attention of the @PoliceNG is drawn to the questionable death of Tunji Abdulkadir in its custody at the Kwara Command. He’s arrested on Friday for allegedly owing a friend N200k.
