Oyo Police speak on fatal shooting after Akesan market fire

The police blamed a ‘sister security agency’ for the shootings instead

Many indigenes in Oyo, a town of four local government areas and five higher learning institutions, have connections with Akesan Market directly or through family members trading there.There was no early response as the firefighters stationed just opposite the market failed to stop the fire due to non-functioning equipment. However, at about 6 a.m., a response came from Ogbomoso, 50 kilometres away, with firefighters based in that neighbouring town mobilised to stop the Akesan-Oyo fire.

“There was no single shot fired by the police personnel deployed proactively and professionally to provide security at the scene of the fire incident at Akesan market in Oyo town,” he said. “Instead, the police personnel under the able supervision of DPO Durbar and Area Commander, Oyo Area Command prevented hoodlums and mob from attacking the Oyo State Government Fire Station in the town as well as the Durbar Police Station, Oyo from being set ablaze.

He explained to the gathering, which included Kehinde Ayoola, Oyo’s commissioner for the environment, that the service’s response vehicle had developed a fault on Saturday after an operation. Another one, Mr Adewuyi said, has a “major” problem and was not an option to fight the fire in the first place.
