Too bad as hoodlums in Agege area shot a policeman dead

Hoodlums in Amoo street, in the Agege area of

Lagos state yesterday Jan. 10th shot dead a
police corporal identified as Sunday David
(pictured above) attached to the Special Anti-
Robbery Squad of the Lagos State Police
Command.
According to the Tribune, the police officer was
allegedly killed in retaliation for killing two
people in the area during a protest. Residents
of the area say trouble started when an internet
fraudster simply identified as Obey was
accosted by some street urchins and asked to
give them some money.
When he could not satisfy their demand and
they in turn will not allow him go, the fraudster
called on the police officer for help. On getting
to the scene of the incident, the police officer
shot into the air, some report say he shot into
the crowd, hitting two of the street urchins
named Sulaimon and Segun, who died.
The policeman and the 'Yahoo Boy' tried to
escape in a car but the angry street urchins
chased them in a motorbike, caught up with
them and killed both men.
Speaking on the incident, the Lagos state police
spokesperson, Joe Offor, confirmed the incident
but denied claims that the deceased killed two
people. He said further investigation into the
matter is ongoing.
