Remo Stars' player family



The family of slain Remo Stars Football Club Assistant Captain, Kazeem Tiyamiyu, popularly known as Kaka, has refuted the reports of the Nigeria Police Force on the alleged killing of their son.

The family, in a statement signed by its lawyers Adegbesan Adenola Esq., Ogunsanmi Abisoye Esq. and the family’s spokesman, Ganiyu Tiyamiyu, insisted that Kaka was allegedly “murdered” on Saturday by some operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) attached to the Ogun State Police Command on the Sagamu-Abeokuta road.

The family claimed the footballer was targetted for murder by the SARS operatives.

The family demanded justice and called on the Ogun State Government to ensure that the killers of the deceased were brought to book.

The family also described Kaka’s murder as “premeditated murder of a young, promising and rising star by some lawless and reckless SARS officers.”

The family spokesman said “the denial by the NPF was false“, adding that it was only meant to exonerate the policeman alleged to have committed the offence.

The statement read:

“Without further ado let’s set the records straight and reject in his entirety this falsehood circulating within our media space painting a good citizen of this country a villain rather than a hero even to his grave thus;

“Tiyamiyu Kazeem is a professional footballer currently signed to Remo Stars in Sagamu

“On this faithful day he was in shop buying groceries when these SARS officers grabbed him and pushed him into their sienna bus.

“One member of their team drove his car with his fellow colleague signed to the same club in his car and proceeded straight to Abeokuta.

“On their way they stopped and while the deceased was questioning them on the reason for his illegal arrest he was pushed down from the car and got hit instantly by a vehicle and sulmalsuted to the other side of the road.

“Immediately after the accident he was still breathing and was rushed to a hospital at Obademi Owode before he was moved to another hospital in Ipara this was contrary to the advise and protest of his team mate for him to be taken straight to Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital for proper treatment.

“While on their way to the hospital at Ipara the sienna bus used for this illegal operation absconded and while at the hospital he finally gave up the ghost and immediately the SARS officer attempted to escape before he was apprehended by the hospital staff and was handed over to the police.

“Contrary to the claim of the police that he was always dressed in military uniform, he was not in any military uniform neither has he ever worn any military uniform.

“Further to this, there are a lot of questions begging for answers on the mode and procedure of arrest that will be addressed in the course of trial.

“Without an iota of doubt, this is a premeditated murder of a young, promising and rising star by some lawless and reckless SARS officers parading and acting with impunity all over the country. It is obvious the lack of diligent prosecution of similar cases all over the country keeps encouraging them to continue this series of illegal operations claiming the lives of the innocent citizens without any form of deterrent whatsoever.

“This is another case begging and crying for justice and we hereby demand for the immediate investigation and diligent prosecution of this case.”
