DSP Timothy Adeola Falowo, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ire Akari police station has been in the news for some time now as a result of his miraculous escape from death when a big tree in the premises of the station uprooted itself and fell on his office. The incident which took place around 9am on Monday during a rainfall drew a lot of sympathizers, who saw his escape as the act of God. They described him as a wonderful man, who does not take undue advantage of anyone because of his position as a senior police officer.

 A man among the visitors at the station painted the DPO as a man with the fear of God and said he is not surprised that God kept him despite the havoc wrecked by the fallen tree.  According to an eyewitness who said the whole incident was just like a film show, admitted it was indeed an act of God that DPO was alive. “I was at the counter when I saw the tree uprooted and landed on the DPO’s office. I was so afraid that I did not know what to do immediately.”

Another eyewitness claimed that the DPO was with some people in his office when the incident happened. “We immediately rushed there hoping for the worst but got relieved when we found out that they were unhurt.” One of the residents who identified himself as John also confirmed the story. “Except for the valuables that were greatly damaged beyond repairs, we are grateful to God that no life was lost.”

One of the early callers at the station was Mr.Lanre Badmus, a famous businessman and philanthropist, who viewed the incident as unfortunate but gave thanks to God for preserving the life of the DPO. Mr.Lanre Badmus was also around to receive the Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr.Fatai Owoseni during his visit to the station to assess the extent of damage and to commiserate with the DPO. 

One beautiful thing about the whole incident is the fulfillment of a wise saying that the burning down of the king’s palace will add beauty to it. This is exactly what has happened to the police station’s complex. The renovation of the DPO’s office is a beauty to behold. It is a show of later day glory that will always be greater than the former. Thanks be to God for this and the cooperation enjoyed by the DPO. Effort to make the DPO comment officially on the incident was not possible.  

Isolo Voice rejoices with DSP Timothy Adeola Falowo, the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Ire Akari police station and his team members for God’s preservation and a successful completion of the renovation work at the station.
