The Oyo State Police Command has refuted claims that a student, Al-Amin Mohammed, was charged for an unpaid ₦8,000 debt prior to his suicide. According to the police, Mohammed was charged with assault and malicious damage after allegedly assaulting a female Point-of-Sale (POS) operator and damaging her equipment. The incident reportedly occurred on September 8, 2026, when Mohammed went to the complainant's residence to settle the ₦8,000 debt.
The police clarified that the ₦8,000 was not the basis for the criminal charge, but rather for the assault and damage to the SIM registration machine, valued at ₦177,000. Mohammed's family, however, maintains that the debt was the reason for his arrest and subsequent suicide on September 17.
