Lagos State Govt Set To Sue Police Over Fuel Subsidy Murder by Fants: 2:53pm On Mar 07, 2012 |
The Lagos State Government is to sue the state Police Command and the former Divisional Police Officer, DPO, of Pen Cinema Police Station, Mr Segun Fabunmi, over the killing of a protester and injuring of three others during January fuel subsidy protest in Lagos. The deceased, 27- year old Demola Abiodun, was allegedly shot dead by the dismissed DPO Fabunmi during the last subsidy protest in Yaya Abatan, Ogba area of Lagos State. Governor Babatunde Fashola had ordered the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade Ipaye, to take over the case and ensure that justice was done, as he vowed that the matter would not be swept under the carpet. The Office of the Public Defender, OPD, an agency under the state Ministry of Justice is handling the case. Director, OPD, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi, who addressed newsmen, yesterday, said the state government was suing the police and the former DPO for N200 million for the killing of Abiodun and N100 million each for three others, who were wounded by police bullets during the protest. According to her, the OPD would soon sue the police command and the killer DPO over the matter, adding that what was delaying the action was the unavailability of the autopsy report. She said the autopsy report was ready and that the office was waiting for the Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University, LASU, Prof. John Obafunwa, a pathologist, to make the autopsy available to her office. She said: “Once the autopsy is ready, we will head to court. We are ready. The DPO, who killed Abiodun is still in prison. http://www.viewsonit.com/2012/03/trouble-lagos-state-to-sue-killer.html |
