However, a source close to the police command, who spoke on condition of anonymity on Friday, told our correspondent that a signal had been received from the Force Headquarters, asking that the matter be transferred.

Sequel to the order, the source said the suspects would be moved to Abuja any moment upon completion of necessary documentation.

The source said, “The command is not hiding anything. But we have been directed to transfer the matter and after necessary documentation is completed, the suspects will be moved to Abuja.”

In his reaction, Naim Adekilekun, the counsel to the Adegoke family, said he was told that Force Headquarters had taken over the investigation into the matter.

Adekilekun however demanded that the matter must be returned to Osun State Police command for its investigators to complete the probe into the death. He said, “I have been informed. But we don’t want the case transferred. It has to be transferred back.”

Meanwhile, counsel to Adedoyin, Mr Abiodun Williams, in his reaction to the development, said his client was innocent.
