The then Ogun State police commissioner on reportedly ordered the arrest of the officer involved in the arrest that led to Kazeem’s death.
Police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi, in a statement, said the officer was unprofessional for leaving an arrested person in a vehicle.
The police spokesman, however, said claims that Kazeem was killed by the police were untrue.
Oyeyemi said the assistant captain of the club was arrested for putting on military apparel despite not being military personnel.
“While taking the deceased in a vehicle to Abeokuta, the vehicle they were travelling in developed a mechanical fault and while the officer was trying to rectify the fault, Tiamiyu jumped down from the vehicle to escape.
“In his bid to run across the road, an oncoming vehicle which is on high speed knocked him down and he died on the spot,” Oyeyemi claimed.
