The case has already attracted public attention, with the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights, CHSR, previously protesting over what it described as alleged attempts to distort facts and compromise the prosecutorial and judicial processes.

The Guardian reported that police declared Akanbi wanted in February 2026 following investigations into the deaths of Salami and Akinloye. The police said their investigation produced confessional statements and corroborative evidence linking suspects to the killings.

CHSR also called on the DPP and other relevant authorities to ensure that the prosecution was guided by credible and admissible evidence and protected from external influence.

VeryDarkMan’s latest comments are allegations and calls for intervention. They do not, on their own, establish wrongdoing by the DPP or any other justice official. The allegations against Akanbi and the circumstances surrounding the killings remain subject to the legal process.
