Lagos Estate Agent Allegedly Shot By Divisional Police Officer Now Paralysed, Yet To Get Justice After Five YearsNarrating his ordeal to SaharaReporters, Rabiu who has been in the wheelchair since 2018 said that the incident happened on November 20, 2018 at around 6pm, at Itire area of Lagos while returning from a place where he went to rent out a shop to a client.
“On getting to my office, I saw my business partner named Mr Hammed. He told me the client we were expecting hasn’t come so I asked him to lend me a thousand naira but he said he does not have any money on him. “He helped me to pick my car key from the floor. He asked his fellow police officers to carry me to the bus [Lagos transport bus] which they used for patrol, when they were carrying me I sighted one of the policemen that I know, I called him but he didn’t answer me.
Akeem told SaharaReporters that he was worried by security reports that policemen were attempting to retrieve the bullet extracted from his body by the doctors at the UCH, hence, in a letter dated January 4, 2019, he appealed to the Chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee of the hospital not to release the bullet.
Suliamon also insisted that on the day the incident happened, he didn’t carry a gun, and that on the same issue, somebody was arrested with a gunand that Akeem was not the only one who was shot as another person was also shot.
