Lagos (Nigeria):
Far from being over, the controversy over the death of former Mobitel boss, Chief Charles Alaba Joseph may have just begun.
Police authorities insisted that Joseph jumped to death on September 15, and faulted the first autopsy report which declared that he was shot.
Also Tuesday, the receiver/manager for the delegated telecommunications firm, Mr. Kemi Pinheiro, alleged that his life was under threat by an anonymous telephone caller.These were disclosed at the resumed sitting of coroner, Chief Magistrate Ayodele Adegbisan, who is probing the mysterious death of Joseph.
The sitting resumed Tuesday after two weeks of break. Mr. Olayinka Ojo, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Homicide Department of Force Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Alagbon, faulted the first autopsy report by Prof. Oladapo Obafunwa, which traced Josephs’ death to gunshot.
The police officer said that his finding after the death contradicted the pathologist’s report.Ojo, who said that he worked as a homicide detective in Kosovo under the auspices of the United Nations faulted Obafunwa reports in five key areas.He said, there was no material evidence to prove that there was gunshot wound.
