Born on April 19, 1980, Remilekun was killed last Thursday by daredevil robbers, who invaded the police station while she was on duty. Remilekun’s corpse, conveyed in a hearse from the Isanlu Mortuary, was followed by sympathisers to a cemetery in her hometown, Ekinrin-Adde, where she was buried. Meanwhile, the Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has released the sum of N10m for the burial rites of the victims of the Isanlu bank robbery. Eight police officers and three civilians were killed last Thursday when the sleepy town of Isanlu came under attack from the men of the underworld.
