Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Criminal Investigations Department Force Headquarters, Peter Ogunyonwo made announcement of the disbandment of the ZIS during a condolence visit to the parents of the deceased in Sagamu.

Ogunyonwo who made the announcement during the visit he was accompanied on by Governor of Ogun State Dapo Abiodun, said the ZIS office would be handed over to the Ogun State Police Command.

This is coming days after a Remo Stars player identified as Kazeem Tiyamiyu (Kaka) was allegedly killed by some operatives of the security outfit deployed to Sagamu-Abeokuta road.

In his tweet, the former Vice President stated that the reform of the Nigeria Police especially the SARS unit, is long overdue.

Atiku tweeted “The reform of the Nigeria Police, especially the SARS unit, is long overdue. The@PoliceNG is meant to protect the life and property of our citizens and not to put them into harm’s way. -AA”

The family insisted that Kazeem was allegedly “murdered” on Saturday by some operatives of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad attached to the Ogun State Police Command on the Sagamu – Abeokuta Road and demanded justice.

The family said that the Ogun State Government should ensure that the killers of the footballer were brought to book.

The family in their statement described Kazeem’s murder as “premeditated murder of a young, promising and rising star by some lawless and reckless SARS officers .”

The family spokesman said, “ Tiyamiyu Kazeem is a professional footballer currently signed to Remo Stars in Sagamu and on that day he was in a shop buying groceries when some SARS officers grabbed him and pushed him into their Sienna bus. One member of the SARS team drove Tiyamiyu ’s car with Tiyamiyu ’s colleague signed to the same club by his side and they proceeded straight to Abeokuta. And the deceased was questioning the SARS officers on the reason for his illegal arrest. He was pushed down from the car and got hit instantly by a vehicle and somersaulted to the other side of the road. Immediately after the accident, he was still breathing and was rushed to a hospital at Obafemi Owode before he was moved to another hospital in Ipara. This was contrary to the advice and protest by his teammate that Kaka should be taken straight to the Olabisi Onabanjo Teaching Hospital for proper treatment. While on their way to the hospital at Ipara , the Sienna bus used for the illegal operation absconded and while at the hospital , Kaka finally died. Contrary to the claim by the police that the deceased was always dressed in military uniform, he was not in any military uniform neither has he ever worn any military uniform. Further to this , there are a lot of questions begging for answers on the mode and procedure of the arrest that will be addressed in the course of the trial. It is obvious that the lack of diligent prosecution of similar cases all over the country keeps encouraging some of the SARS operatives to continue this series of illegal operations. Such has been claiming the lives of innocent citizens without any form of deterrent, whatsoever. This is another case begging and crying for justice and we hereby demand the immediate investigations and diligent prosecution of this case .”
