Father of Rauf, Mr Rabiu Fawale, a police corporal, who died after alleged attack by three men of the Department of State Services in Osogbo on January 14, has said his son was invited to where he was attacked by another policeman called Modi.

The late policeman, attached to Estate Police Station, Osogbo, was said to be at a bar in the Oke Fia area of the state capital to celebrate Modi’s  birthday before fight broke out between him and the DSS men.

“We were also told that the said Modi is a senior to Rauf at their station in Osogbo. We hope to visit the station to see the said officer. We have gove to the palace of Olobu of Olobu on the issue.”
