Subsidy Protest: A’Court Affirms 10-Year Jail Term for Fabunmi

By Dipo Olowookere

A Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos has dismissed the appeal filed by CSP Segun Fabunmi, a former Divisional Police Officer (DPO) attached to Pen Cinema Police Station, Agege who was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for the killing of one Mr Ademola Aderintola Daramola, during the January 9, 2012 fuel subsidy protest in Lagos.

Justice Olabisi Akinlade of a Lagos State High Court had in 2015, sentenced Segun Fabunmi, to 10 years in prison for manslaughter following his arraignment and trial before the Court.

The Lagos High Court Judge also found Mr Fabunmi, the dismissed Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP), guilty of shooting three other persons, Alimi Abubakar, Egbujor Samuel and Chizorba Odoh during the protest, thereby causing them grievous bodily harm.

Dissatisfied with the Lagos High Court judgment, Mr Fabunmi proceeded to the Appeal Court seeking to overturn the judgement of the Lower Court

Recall that Mr Fabunmi, of No. 12 Oyewole Street, Ogudu, Lagos, who joined the police in 1984, was arraigned on May 5, 2013, by the Lagos State government on a seven-count charge bordering on murder, attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm.
