Mrs Olamide Erinfolami, widow of the late Inspector Ayodeji Erinfolami, who was shot on the stomach on October 12 in the Surulere area of Lagos during the #EndSARS protest, has pleaded for justice over her husband’s killing.
The widow, who appeared on Friday before the Lagos State Judicial Panel of Inquiry probing allegations of rights abuses by the police, said she believed that her husband was shot by one of his fellow Policemen. Led in evidence by her lawyer, Mr Gbemiga Ogunleye, Olamide told the retired Justice Doris Okuwobi-led panel that though the Lagos State Government gave the family N10m compensation, “money cannot buy our joy.” The widow narrated that on the morning of October 12, She said she waited for her husband’s phone call on that day but it never came then she became worried. Then someone from Maiduguri called and asked her if she had heard that her husband was shot during the protest. “About 45 minutes later, I called again and a girl picked and said my husband was shot. I asked her how, the lady said I should be praying, I should call a pastor,” the widow said.She expressed disappointment that the Police did not officially call to inform her of the incident.
