Tragic News 💔
DNA test results have confirmed that the unidentified body deposited at an Ikorodu mortuäry was that of Pelumi Onifade.
- In 2020, Nigerian youths took to the streets during the #EndSARS protests. One of the reporters covering the event was Onifade Emmanuel Pelumi.
- On October 24, 2020, Pelumi was arrested and taken away by police officers in Agege despite explaining that he was a reporter. He was also wearing a jacket identifying him as a member of the press.
- A few days later, an unidentified body was discovered at a môrtuary in Ikorodu, Lagos, and it was speculated that the body belonged to Pelumi Onifade.
- In July 2024, the Federal High Court in Lagos ordered the Lagos State Government to conduct a coroner’s inquest to determine the cause of Pelumi’s death and identify those responsible.
- The court also ordered the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) to perform a post-mortem examination on the unidentified body received from Ikorodu.
- LASUTH stated that Pelumi’s body could not initially be identified because DNA samples held at the Lagos State DNA and Forensic Centre were dëstroyed during the October 2020 #EndSARS unrest.
- After prolonged back-and-forth between the hospital and the court, a DNA test was eventually conducted using a sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- The magistrate revealed that the report confirmed a DNA match between the previously unidentified body and the sample provided by Pelumi’s mother.
- This development brings a painful confirmation for Pelumi’s family and loved ones, who have endured years of uncertainty while seeking answers and closure.
- Their counsel is now calling for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of Pelumi’s de@th.
- The case has been adjourned until July 7, 2026.
May the soul of the departed rest in peace. 💔
