The Nigeria Police Force has dismissed the Zonal Intervention Squad officer who was involved in the murder of the Remo Star football club player, Tiamiyu Kazeem.

Inspector Ogunsoro is presently undergoing disengagement proceedings of the service and he is expected to soon be prosecuted.
The Ogun State Police Command on Saturday confirmed the death of the Assistant Captain and Defender of Remo Stars Football club, Tiyamiyu Kazeem and ordered the arrest of one of its own who was involved in the soccer playerβs demise.
According to the police, Kazeem was knocked down by a vehicle while trying to cross the expressway in order to evade arrest.
