The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, PhD, NPM, has mandated urgent intervention regarding the tragic shooting incident that occurred on July 24, 2024, at a police checkpoint in Itele, Ota, Ogun State. This incident involved police officers who, during a routine vehicle stop, discharged their firearms when a Lexus vehicle flagged down had attempted to flee, resulting in a stray bullet striking 27-year-old Tomiwa Oni Odofa, an occupant of the vehicle.


Upon learning of this unfortunate event, the Ogun State Police Command acted swiftly to ensure that Tomiwa received the necessary medical attention and constant check-up until her discharge. The officers involved in the incident were identified and underwent thorough disciplinary processes to address their actions.


In a demonstration of commitment to justice and accountability, the IGP has directed the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo and team, to visit Tomiwa’s family in Ota. This visit aims to assess her progress in recovery and to provide additional assurances and support to the family during this challenging time. Additionally, the IGP has ordered that immediate psychological evaluation and therapy be provided to Tomiwa as part of her recovery plan. 


The Nigeria Police Force is dedicated to ensuring that she receives all necessary support to facilitate her complete healing. The IGP once again extends his heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery to Tomiwa and reassures members of the public of the police force's commitment to uphold justice, community welfare, and ongoing accountability.
