A 2019 house of representatives aspirant under the platform of the APC in Ogbomosho, Engr Muftau Open Salawu has condemned the killing of Jimoh Isiaq by officials of the Police force during a peaceful protest on Saturday.
Open Salawu, in a statement on Sunday morning revealed that Jimoh was his relative.
He maintained that a restructuring of the Police Force was inevitable.
His statement read: “It is so sad and shocking when I was informed of the death of Isiaka jimoh. This is a promising young vibrant boy that could help and support the family and is life was cut short. Whoever is responsible most be brought to justice.
“The Father is my brother and we just finished a project together with him in which the Key of the building was handed over to him to tell you how close we are with the family.
“Restructuring of policing systems is inevitable now, police are supposed to be friends of the citizens but am not sure that is the case right now. More innocent Nigerians have been killed by reckless police men and this is as result of unprofessional conduct of few officers in uniform.
“I want us to be calm and protest peaceful and avoid physical confrontations with men that carry guns in other to avoid lost of life. The Police need to be restructure to give room for community policing and that is when we can have effective policing in our Country.”
