Lagos CP Pays Tribute to Family of Inspector Killed by Sergeant
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, has appealed to protesting Lagosians to soften tensions amid their demonstrations as both innocent protesters and police personnel, respectively, have become casualties.

He also added that the #EndSARS protests have been hijacked by hoodlums within the state who are fully armed.

According to Odumosu, one police inspector has been killed, while two other personnel are critically injured.

He said, “Today, being 12th October, 2020, at about 1pm, some armed protesters laid siege on the Anti Kidnapping Unit Office of the command, broke into the cell and liberated two of the kidnap cases suspects, before they were tactically and professionally repelled.

“In the process, Insp. Ekei Joshua with AP No 175493, Insp. Peter Agabi with AP No 251138 and Insp. Erinfolami Ayodeji with AP No 229241(now late) attached to the Anti Kidnapping Unit of Lagos State Command, located at Iyun Road, Surulere were shot and critically injured; they have been rushed to the Intensive Care Unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.

In addition, the protesters fired and killed one Ikechukwu Ilohamauzo, 55 years, a driver of one Toyota Sienna Bus, with Registration Number LSD 296 FX, who got stuck in the traffic caused by the blockage of the road by the violent protesters, in Surulere today. It is pertinent to state that the attacked police inspectors and Mr. Ikechukwu Ilohamauzu were hit and injured by pellets reasonably fired from pump actions/locally-made guns. The corpses of the deceased have been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.”

Odumosu further urged protesters to be peaceful and avoid violent attacks on police personnel or any other security agents. 

Also, he warned them not to harass innocent Lagosians by picketing them to forcefully join the protests; and should avoid blocking access routes or roads for other Nigerians who are as well entitled to their fundamental human rights

He also appealed to parents and guardians to keep watch on their children and monitor their activities to avoid being mobilised and used for illegal activities in the state.
