Tears as Lance Corporal Adegboyega Adebayo, one of the two soldiers killed by hoodlums two days before the Rivers State rerun election, was buried in the Iyesi area of Ogun State.

During the burial, tearful parents, brothers and friends of the 34-year-old soldier, who was shot dead on the sea in the Abonema, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State on March 17, decried lack of concern from both the Rivers State and the federal governments.

According to PUNCH, the aged parent of Adebayo said apart from the military, no government official had sent a condolence message or visited the family even though he died in the line of duty.

Succeeded by parents, a wife, and two children – Marvelous, 6, and two-month-old Mercy, Adegboyega was described as the breadwinner of his extended family.

His 66-year-old mother, Clara Adebayo, called for an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her son’s death, saying that the family had been dealt a big blow.
