Lagos State Police Command has arrested a police officer alongside 18 suspected hoodlums for allegedly causing chaos along Burma Road in Apapa area of the state. In a statement released by the state’s police spokesperson, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, the command received a distress call from the Chief Security Officer, CSO of a new generation bank located in the area.

“The caller said hoodlums were trying to take laws into their hands by setting the bank ablaze following the shooting of a tank driver by a policeman, attached to the bank after a altercation.” he said.

Famous-Cole said operatives of the command including the Area Commander Apapa, the Rapid Response Squad, RRS and other security agents quickly rushed to the scene to take charge of the situation.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, was also present at the scene of the incident.

He said if not for the quick intervention of the Police, the hoodlums would have wreaked more havoc as the destroyed private properties and valuables.

He explained that a mob had gathered in front of the bank demanding the trigger-happy policeman be released to them.

But the bank refused, leading to the arson and further attack another bank branch, located on Wharf Road.

The Assistant Superintendent of Police said the fire at the banks was put out by the police and other security agencies as the tanker driver, identified as Azeez was rushed immediately to the hospital for treatment.

He said he was confirmed dead upon arrival at the hospital.

“Contrary to reports making rounds in the news, only one tanker driver was shot.” Famous-Cole reiterated.
The policeman has been arrested and would be charged to court immediately, the police mouth-piece said.

He noted that 18 suspected hoodlums were also arrested and investigations on-going.

“The Lagos state police command would like to address the members of the public about the rate of impunity and jungle justice in the state.

“We are no longer going to tolerate the act of lawlessness and impunity by members of the public.” the statement read.

He said normalcy had since been restored to the area.

Nice move by Lagos State Commissioner of police. The policeman that shot the tanker driver dead should face the wrath of the law. Rest in peace to the tanker driver.

Kudos NPF. ........

The destruction is unnecessary . pls beware of men of the underworld. 95% of those touts, had the intentions of carting away monies from the bank if possible.

You see that you don't have sense. I'm a Yoruba as you are but i won't leave my house burning to quench fire in someone else's house. What does IPOB have to do with this trend. I support Seyilaw, Your placenta should have been retained than you

It is called self-defense go wrong. NPF needs to work very hard on their officers. Imagine one civilian using cutlass to chase soldier. They no born the hoodlum well.

what made the civillian chase the policeman

Oye ara

The truth is that human life is not valued in this country, I bet that policeman can not shoot a cow on the streets of Nigeria just like that.
How could you shoot a person for wrong parking, how? was he a robbery suspect? Who robs a bank in Apapa with a vehicle of at least 12 tires, how is that possible, where the person wan pass?? At best deflate his tires and get him arrested.

The this kind mater ehn, na roger they cause am i swear,

For those who do not know how apapa works, you see that Burma road ehn, it is an unofficial trailer park, coming from liver pool, through LGA Secretariat, down to Karima Hotel, passing through these banks and down to NIMASA building to terminate at the Apapa Quay is a complete unofficial trailer park, if you settle wella u park wella, otherwise na gobe. This must have been a deal gone bad

Reacting to the extra judicial killing of an innocent man doesn't make the mob hoodlums. The real hoodlum is the drunk policeman.

Arrant nonsense

Chai it is a pity he is ignorant. I quote from Mazi Nnamdi Azikiwe "it is only a mad man that will confront a man with trigger" I will not attempt to try that.
