According to Vanguradngr, Gafar Ayoola, who resided at 16, Bridge Road, Otto, Ebute Metta, Lagos, was allegedly tortured to death while in detention at Denton Police Station, Lagos, after being arrested on Friday morning on his way to board a cab to his work place. .

According to his father, Sulaiman Ayoola, “he was arrested by one of the officers at Denton police station named Taye. When the news got to us, we went to the police station but the officers on duty lied that they did not see or know the reason behind Gafar’s arrest.

However, this morning (Saturday) at the police station, one of the police officers was trying to pacify us by disclosing that Gafar was rushed to Dunik Hospital at Kano Street by Bola in Ebute Metta (East) where he breathed his last."
