The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained five policemen over the alleged murder of a commercial bike rider who was killed and secretly buried in a shallow grave to conceal the crime.

The deceased, Aondona Tavershima, 24, was said to have been shot and killed by policemen attached to Maroko Police Station after he allegedly refused to stop when flagged down in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

The policemen however quickly rushed his body to Lekki Beach and buried him.
Tavershima was killed around 11am.
The police shot him after he refused to obey and stop.

The policemen, it was alleged, further shot him repeatedly after he had fallen off his motorbike on receiving the first bullet.
He died on the spot.
The policemen would have gotten away with the murder of Tavershima, but for a fellow cyclist, who witnessed the murder and raised the alarm.

The deceased’s elder sister, Linda, alleged that the police offered her N10 million settlement to ensure the matter was not taken further.
The Divisional Police Officer in charge of Moroko Police Station offered the bribe, cajoling Linda to go home and think about the money.

But rather than think about the money, Linda and other family members contacted a lawyer, demanding justice.
The Police Public Relations Officer for Lagos State, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, who confirmed the incident, said that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Kayode Aderanti, ordered for the immediate arrest of the suspected policemen.

Nwosu said: “Five policemen are currently being detained, while the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, has since commenced an investigation.

“If found guilty, the officers will be made to face the wrath of the law.”

Can Nigeria be positioned in a league of developed countries without a responsible and respectable police force?

I don't think justice will be served on this one

Not when N10Million is involved
I just pray those policemen are subject to CIA's toture procedures before being semtenced!

Police just de do every body work judiciary, grave diggiging, burial team, plus life insurance 10m. U Go fear nah.

our police men are becoming unnecessarily brutal. That was how they shot two robbers yesterday without even thinking twice..

God forbid twenty times.

If he has the bolded in his agenda, I pity those that would vote him.

Conclusion- GEJ and GMB are birds of a feather. We are tired of recycling wastebins.

We need a young blood(the so-called leaders of tomorrow)
