A disturbing incident has unfolded on the Benin-Onitsha Expressway in Edo State, Nigeria, resulting in the death of an elderly cleric, Rev. Adetunji. Four officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have been arrested in connection with the incident.
The incident occurred on June 19, 2025, when FRSC personnel stopped a Toyota Hiace bus traveling from Onitsha to Akure. The driver allegedly refused to comply, leading to a confrontation. The situation escalated, and FRSC officers reportedly beat the driver and passengers, spraying pepper spray and tear gas into the crowded vehicle.
Unfortunately, Rev. Adetunji lost his life during the incident. The police have taken action, and the four FRSC officials involved have been arrested.
The arrest of the FRSC officials is a step towards accountability and justice. The incident highlights the need for proper training and protocols for law enforcement agencies to avoid such tragic outcomes.
The death of Rev. Adetunji is a sobering reminder of the importance of upholding human rights and dignity, even in the line of duty. The investigation into this incident will hopefully bring clarity and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
