• We have arrested the killer cop – Police

The wife of a borehole drilling operator, Kabir Babai, who was recently shot dead by a policeman, Moses Samuel, in Osogbo, Osun State, yesterday gave birth to a baby boy. 

Many could not hold their tears after news filtered that Babai’s wife gave birth just a week after he was killed. 

Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, in his reaction through his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Ismail Omipidan, directed the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Wale Olokode, to ensure that the policeman that killed Babai faced the full wrath of the law. 

In an interview with City News, Olokode said the killer cop has been arrested and detained.

The CP said the matter was investigated and that the policeman that killed Babai was found culpable and would be prosecuted accordingly. 

City News reports that the 33-year-old Bauchi State-born Babai, popularly known as Malam, worked with Shekeenah Zelter Global Concept Ltd in Osogbo before he was killed by the policeman at Otaefun area over a minor argument. 

He was buried in Bauchi as his parents insisted that the remains of their son must be brought back home.

A huge crowd including many people from Osogbo attended the burial in Bauchi. 

Findings by City News revealed that Babai was a multi-talented young man. He was the drill operator and driver of the truck at the same time. 

He brought nine boys to Osogbo from Bauchi that worked with him. Since his death, the company had shut down its operations. Babai was said to be the breadwinner of his family and helped many people in his community during his lifetime.
