The Nigerian Air
Force has said that the police would take over the trial of classmates of late
Tolulope Arotile, who knocked her down with a vehicle.
NAF Director of
Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ibikunle Daramola, made the
disclosure while briefing the public on the outcome of preliminary
investigation of Arotile’s death.
NAF had earlier said
the driver of the vehicle, Mr Nehemiah Adejo, did not have a valid driver’s
license
Daramola said the
case was a civil matter and would, therefore, be handed over to the police with
the hope of charging the suspects to court.
He said, “Being a
civil case, the matter will be handed over to the Nigeria Police with a view to
further investigating and charging the suspects to court in accordance with
extant laws.”
The death of Arotile
led to a public outcry with Nigerians calling for an investigation into her
demise.
