Oyerinde death: More inconsistencies uncovered in police/SSS reports

MORE inconsistencies have been discovered in the reports submitted by the police and the State Security Service (SSS) on the killing of former Principal Private Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, Olaitan Oyerinde. One of these was the difference in the telephone records of both security agencies.
In the report submitted during investigation at the House of Representatives last month, both the police and SSS got the two telephone numbers of the late Oyerinde correctly as: 08035137162, 07051676455 and that of his wife, Funke, as 08066278666, however, there was a difference, in the records of his International Mobile Equipment Identity, otherwise known as IMEI and PIN number.
Further checks revealed that the IMEI records of the telephone numbers of Oyerinde, which the SSS said it recovered and handed over along with its suspects, were different from the ones the police listed in their report.
In the presentation, the Director-General of the SSS said “mobile forensic analyses of the phones belonging to the victim, his wife, brother-in-law, Adeyinka Oletubo, who was staying with them. The phone numbers are: 08035137162 belonging to Oyerinde and 07051676455 belonging to Oyerinde, 08066278666, Funke and 08033058580 belonging to Adeyinka.
“The call data records of the late Oyerinde’s GSM line 07051676455. The international mobile equipment identity phone 35469504311887 was obtained.
“The CDR of Funke Oyerinde’s line 08066278666 registered as Labake Oyerinde with international mobile equipment identity number 35546504883586 was obtained from MTN Nigeria Network.
“Also from this network, the CDR of Oyerinde’s MTN line of 08035137162 with international mobile identity number 357696041479100 was obtained.
