I am not even sure that the letter got to the people it was supposed to get to. As close as we were when he was alive, I cannot even go to his house to see his family as often as I am expected to. "What DSS did was to give the family N200,000 for the burial rites of some sort. We had to hold the burial two days after the wife was delivered of the baby so she would be able to attend the funeral. "I don’t know what transpired but people who witnessed it said the soldier stabbed Oluseye in his neck and he fell and was bleeding. He was a really loyal man to me. "They said my brother died on his way to the hospital and that he kept shouting, ‘I am tired. “He has been buried, an autopsy was carried out by the DSS and we were told to go and bury our brother and we did. I am tired’ as they moved to the hospital. In the process of the peace talk, an argument ensued and there was a little fight. "So, I was shocked when I was called around 11pm of that day by a relative that he was dead. That call from him came around 7pm, because we were planning to attend the burial of a relative.
