Lagos State commissioner of police (CP), Imohimi Edgal, has urged D’Banj to report the swimming pool accident that claimed the life of his one-year-old child to the police.

Edgal, who conveyed his sympathies and that of his men to the family of Mr and Mrs Oladapo Daniel Oyebanjo a.k.a D’Banj on the death of Daniel (Jnr) Oyebanjo at their Ikoyi-Lagos residence on June 24, urged the family to formally report the circumstances that led to the death of little Daniel to the police.

A statement issued today by the state police spokesman, CSP Chike Oti, reads in part: “…The CP wants the family to know that at this period of their grief, the entire Command shares in their pain.

“Although a delegation from the Command, led by the Divisional Police Officer, Ikoyi Division, CSP Mustapha N’Abba, who were at the Ikoyi home of the Oyebanjos on a condolence visit did not meet anyone at home, it is expected that when the mourning period is over, the family will formally report the circumstances that led to the unfortunate death of little Daniel to the police. May his soul rest in peace. Amen.”
