Matthew Ajibade
Could you imagine having your loved one, your son, your brother, your significant other killed by police, in their custody, and hearing no response whatsoever as to how or why it happened?
Such is the extremely disturbing case of the Savannah Police Department murder of 22-year-old Matthew Ajibade on this past New Year's Day. After his family called 911 for medical assistance, police arrested Ajibade instead of taking him to a hospital. His family begged them to not to take him to jail. His girlfriend gave the police officers his medication, as noted in the police report.
That evening, Ajibade was dead. Tied to a restraining chair, he was apparently tasered to death by officers while he was in the chair.
A full 125 days later, the Chatham County Police Department and the jail refuse to release any video footage, any official reports on what happened, or any other actionable information to the family or legal team, claiming that it is under investigation.
What does that even mean?
Now that we are into the fifth month following Ajibade's death, are they claiming that they have more to investigate or have they truly been investigating at all?
Below, watch a gut-wrenching interview with Ajibade's family and attorney on CNN. This family deserves answers and it shouldn't take this damn long.
