There was fear and apprehension in the Adamo area of Ikorodu, Lagos, on Monday, when a policeman shot dead a girl during a raid.

The killing of the girl who is a trader sparked off heavy protest as youths in the area gave the patrol team a hot chase, forcing the police to abandon their vehicle and flee the scene. The youths seized the patrol vehicle and set it ablaze.

A witness, Ben Ndakat, said the policemen had stormed the Adamo area on an evening raid of suspected criminal hideouts.

Ndakat said as some suspected hoodlums were running away for fear of being arrested by the police, the cops started firing at the suspects but a stray bullet hit the young lady.

“The killing of the girl sparked off serious protest by an angry mob that chased after the policemen who fired randomly to scare people away, and they escaped but abandoned their patrol vehicle. The mob set the vehicle ablaze.

“I wonder the type of training the police authorities give to their policemen; how could they be firing in the midst of people? They should have known that those who they were chasing were using innocent people as shield. I watched how the girl, who was on her own, slumped and died after being hit by the bullet.”

The command’s Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bala Elkana, confirmed that a girl was shot dead and said:

“Yes, a young girl was shot dead by a policeman from the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence, Panti. I don’t want to preempt their motive to the area, but I believe they were there on surveillance. The policeman who fired the shot is in our custody. We are investigating the matter.”

Why not chase the hoodlums and apprehend yhe m for the police. When you allow criminals settle in your neighborhood this is what you get.

So sad

Okay

The way Nigerian workers act both in the public and private sector makes me not to blame them, I blame the hrm of these institutions.


These days u go to even banks and the workers find it difficult to attend to you talkless of government organizations

After stating clearly that the girl was shot by the policeman and that they have him in their custody what is there to investigate again please? This is what they will do to drag the matter and frustrate her family until everyone gets tired and the murderer will be given a transfer and promotion! Dirty Nigeria Police!

What a loss!

Quite an unfortunate girl.

RIP to the dead.

But on a more serious note, the Nigerian police needs a complete overhaul.

Na sorry go end matter

Police never take care of their own....talkless of families affected by their recklessness

One of the reasons why you don't have to think twice when you see a genuine opportunity to leave this country

The zoo police will soon release a press statement which will contain the following excerpts.

"Our men came under heavy gunfire".
"In d ensuing melee,the lady was hit by a bullet fired by the hoodlums".

Death everywhere in my country, hope this next level things wasn't all about death?

Giving guns to mentally unstable uniformed touts.

No month passes by without hearing news like this in naija. If it isn't NP, it will be NA. Almighty God please heal our land naija.

May God rest the soul of the innocent girl and comfort the family she left behind.
