The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained the Yahaha Adeshina, the Divisional Police Officer of Ilemba Hausa Division for allegedly killing a sergeant attached to his division.
Bala Elkana, the police spokesperson, said in a statement Thursday that Mr Adeshina is being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department, .
The police spokesperson had said Mr Elijah was not happy with the DPO’s refusal to release the motorcycle to him, so, he decided to launch the deadly attack. “The shooting incident happened on 10/5/2020 at about 2140hours, when unknown gunmen fired gunshots at the Divisional Police Officer, Ilemba Hausa and the Station Guard, Sergeant Onalaja Onajide. The DPO survived the gunshots but the Station Guard died from the pellets wound. Investigation led to the arrest of the two,” Mr Elkana had said.
“I believe something strange happened before he died and I want an investigation. Later on, about four policemen hid their numbers when they called to inform me that the DPO, Yahaya Muhammed Adeshina, shot my husband dead with a locally-owned gun and I recorded the conversations. I have petitioned the Zone 2 Command, because I want justice,” she said.
