Aregbesola’s aide arrested over girlfriend’s death

Firstclass newsline has learnt that a Special Adviser to Osun State
Governor, Mr Bode Olugbore, has been arrested by the police over the
death of his girlfriend, Miss Kemi Arobieke.
Firstclass newsline learnt that Kemi, a graduate of the Lagos State
University, visited Bode in Osogbo, the Osun State capital on
Thursday, August 6, all the way from Lagos and promised to return on
Saturday.
The deceased's elder brother, Ayo, who confirmed the death of his
sister to a source on the telephone on Tuesday, said Kemi had known
Olugbore for about four years, but the family did not know about their
relationship.
The brother of the deceased said he, Kemi and Bode were members of the
same church in Lagos adding that her sister said the suspect had been
separated from his wife.
He said, "My sister travelled to Osogbo and she was supposed to return
to Lagos on Saturday, but we got a call from the police that she was
involved in an accident and it was very serious.
"We got to Osogbo but the police prevented us from seeing her only to
be told that she was electrocuted. She was said to have been
electrocuted by a Binatone fan, but it is unbelievable.
"The current in a fan is not enough to kill, except one has direct
contact with a live wire. The mark on her body suggests something
contrary."
He said he saw Bode at the State Criminal Investigation Department on
two occasions he went to the place.
The deceased's brother said the police had done the autopsy, but the
family was still waiting for the police to give them the result.
He said, " We were told that Bode's family will have to be present
before they would give us the result."
The governor's media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, when contacted
declined to comment on the matter.
He said, " It's a police matter. You can get accurate information
about whatever happened from the police."
Also, efforts to speak to the Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs
Folasade Odoro, proved abortive on the matter as calls put across to
her telephone were picked but she refused to talk.
After many calls to her other telephone, a male voice answered the
call and told the source that the PPRO was not in the office but left
her phone for charging. He promised that the PPRO would call back when
she returned, but she did not.
Also, a text message sent to inquire about the case was not replied to
as of the time of filing this report.
