One of the
victims and ID card of the alleged killer-police
Police in Lagos State have allegedly shot dead two
officers of the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence
Corps, NSCDC.
The incident reportedly occurred at about 3am on
Wednesday when men of the Nigeria Police allegedly ambushed and opened fire on
men of the anti-vandal squad of the NSCDC.
Two officers of the corps reportedly died on the spot
while others escaped with gunshot wounds.
It was reliably
gathered that the attack happened around Ikorodu, Lagos State, where men of the
NSCDC had gone for an anti-vandal operation overnight and were returning with
their spoils.
It was further
gathered that officers of the corps had arrested some oil vandals when the
police attacked them and allegedly freed the oil thieves.
It was also further alleged that the vandals had called
the police who then came to their rescues when they could not overpower the
NSCDC.
Ngozi Braide, the Lagos Police Public Relations
Officer, PPRO was contacted to comment on the matter but
she was not available to speak to us as at press time. One of her aides who
spoke declined to comment on the issue.
