The shocking death of a budding footballer, Kazeem Tiamiyu, in the hands of Special Anti-Robbery Squad in Sagamu, Ogun on Sunday ignited widespread violence in Remo area of the state that spread to Monday evening leading to the death of another young man.

As the cloud raised by the death begin to settle, Fasasi Tiamiyu, the father of the slain footballer, has continued to bemoan the death his son, revealing the giant strides and career advancement his son was making before his unfortunate death.

Kazeem, the Remo Stars assistant captain, who was arrested by SARS officials, was crushed by a hit-and-run driver after he was allegedly thrown out of a moving vehicle.

Fasasi, a former Deputy Leader of the House, representing Ward 11, Sagamu Local Government Area, disclosed that the Remo Stars defender was on the brink of finalising a deal in a European club before his demise.

Fasasi implored the government not to sweep the death of his son under the carpet, adding that officials of SARS who were responsible for the deaths of his son must face the full wrath of the law.

Fasasi said, “The SARS operatives have just wiped out my joy by killing him in cold blood for nothing. His agent had just secured a trial for him with a Swedish club and he was due to leave in three weeks for the trials overseas.

“They accused him of wearing military fatigues but when we got to the hospital where he was taken to, Kazeem had his club’s jersey and shorts on.

“I had high hopes of seeing my son play in Europe and also representing the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, someday in the nearest future.

“Look at how the police just shattered the dreams of my son. Now he’s dead and they are trying to shield the killers from facing justice. I thought police were meant to protect the citizens now they are the ones killing Nigerians.
