Baba made the appeal in a message he sent to the passing out of 374 Police constables from the Police Training College, Oyin Akoko, Ondo State.

He said more people should join the police not just as a career but to contribute to nation building.

His message was delivered by AIG Y.M. Akeera, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 17, Akure.

He charged the new police constables to be good ambassadors on the job by exhibiting good character and professionalism at all times.

“It has become imperative for you to abide by the laws guiding policing and also be good role models so as to encourage others to toe the line of policing.

“You must shun acts that are at variance with the standards of the police, as the force does not spare anyone who errs,’’ he warned.

In his remarks, ACP Adebayo Rafiu, the Commandant of the training school, congratulated the constables and charged them to be diligent, selfless, patriotic, and be good ambassadors of the school.

The suspect was arrested on January 14, 2021, following a complaint lodged at Ayetoro divisional headquarters by a younger brother to the deceased.

Rafiu was said to have gone to their farm at Oluwasogo area of Ijaka Isale, when he was challenged by the suspect for burning bush very close to his farm.

He stated further that a fight ensued between them and the suspect overpowered Rafiu.

According to the complainant, the suspect tied Rafiu’s hands and legs with rope and used a stick to beat him to a state of coma before leaving him there and coming back to the town.

He said the following day when the deceased’s mother got to the farm, she met him already dead.

Upon the report, the Divisional Police Officer, Ayetoro division, Bolaji Jimoh, detailed his detectives to the scene from where the corpse was recovered to the general hospital mortuary for post mortem examination.

The suspect was then traced and apprehended.

The suspect was said to have confessed to tying the deceased’s legs and hands before beating him to comma.

He, however, claimed that he never knew that could lead to the death of his relative.

The Commissioner of Police, Edward A. Ajogun, was said to have ordered the transfer of the suspect to the homicide section of the state criminal investigation and intelligence department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.
