Lagos police attempts to cover up shooting of banker & security guard

our mo-rons in black adding insult to injury

The police in Lagos are currently attempting to cover up the shooting of Access Bank Staff, Femi Badejo; and a security guard, Joshua Musa.

Punch reporters, Kunle Falayi and Eniola Akinkuotu had reported on Monday that Badejo and the security guard were shot by the policemen attached to Maroko Police station while responding to a distress call about a robbery. Badejo had told Punch that he was shot five times by the police.



Badejo, who is presently writhing in pains at St Nicholas Hospital, Lagos Island, said, "Around 4am, armed robbers stormed my home. I live in a one storey building and there are four tenants occupying the ground floor.

"The robbers robbed all of us occupying the ground floor. They stole my clothes, money, phones and other valuables. While the robbery was ongoing, one of the tenants called Maroko Police Division."
Badejo said after the robbers had fled, scores of policemen arrived at the house while one of them started shooting indiscriminately.

He said, “We (neighbours) were all inside the compound counting our lossses when we heard a bang on the gate. Immediately the security guard opened, one of the policemen started shooting indiscriminately.

"The security guard was shot in the pelvic and in the back but the bullet pierced through his chest. I immediately took cover under a car but the policeman came to where I was and started shooting at me.

"I immediately hid under d car but the policeman came behind me and shot me five times."
Police have however denied the allegations. The Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, told the Nation newspaper that the banker was shot by mistake just once and not five times.

She also said the security guard was not shot by the police but was found dead when policemen arrived the scene.

She said, "According to the Area Commander, when the policemen arrived the scene, the security guard was found dead and the banker was hiding under a car so they shot him once thinking that he was an armed robber."

PUNCH however interviewed the supposedly dead security guard and he is presently on life support but is conscious at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

His uncle, who is a retired policeman said he was shot by the police and not by armed robbers.
The interview which is in Punch of today, infuriated the police authorities for making them look stupid to the extent that when the Punch reporter, Kunle Falayi, arrived at the office of the CP, Mr Umar Manko, he was walked out of the premises of the police command.

All this happpened in the presence of 12 other journalists.

Eniola Akinkuotu has also been warned by the police repeatedly not to write bad reports about them or face grevious consequences

the whole story would be funny if it wasn't so macabre

No be Nigerian police any more abi Lagos don get their own Police? Small small, the tin go turn to Fashola police...

It's so very disheartening to live every day knowing that the Nigerian Police Force is totally dishonest! The real criminals are probably the only people in this country who is not afraid of a Nigerian policeman.
We need a very "heady" leadership to change a thing like this.

Useless country, and these police men will go free

Symptoms of a failed state

cyril83: keep shot maggot!...is it not lagos state govt that's empowering them,giving them go ahead to do whatever they like,why ph,abj,ibadan,ondo,calabar police are not misbehaving.

Try to be civil in your dealings mister. How is the Lagos state govt empowering them? Is it because of the donations of vehicles and walkie talkies that the FG cannot provide that is empowerement? Do you know that even CSO of the state, the governor, has limited powers over the police?

Minion: My King! The Police dont want to made to look silly
Hades: What they ask for is impossible! Can you paint the jungle with any color other than green?
Minion:

If God gimmie the grace τ̅☺ escape from this place called *NG*, my kids go hardly smell here, but them go sabi the language, we're not really the benefits of this mandatory association called state..

Na wa oo see story Naija police can lie!!!

Now,the P.R.O will always back the men in black uniform whenever they misbehave like this,occurence of this unprofessional attitude must be stop,sometimes i do wonder if these bunch of ignorance set of cops really passed out from police academy,wonders shall never end after the armed robbers had left they started acting nollywood movie....and the mother(ngozi braide)always backing her mischievous children.what goes round comes .......... goodday.

The Punch aren't even making any sense on the matter, how exactly did they interview someone on life support? Telekinesis?

Neither party has any credibility, meanwhile I saw a photograph of the Banker and he didn't look like he was shot 5 times, not to ignore many that survive but and if he was why isnt he dead?

Not to exonerate the nigerian police on the matter, they are obviously incompetent if shooting anyone in sight is their system. After not turning up on time, they expected the robbers to be waiting for them! shior

You probably didn't read this part of the report
If police said the guard is dead and PUNCH has let us in that he's alive, therein lies the answer
Also why is the police ALWAYS disputing news stories about them
Do they get it right all the time?

Also the neighbors/ co-tenants are there to disprove this story, actually the neighbors stopped the man from getting shot dead by the police
When I read the PUNCH's report I shuddered at the stone age police tactics
Imagine coming into a crime scene all guns blazing without regard for stray bullets
Shooting at someone who has no visible nor concealed weapon
WTF!
I know fighting crime is not easy on policemen in Nigeria but stories like the above make you shudder& pray for celestial protection whether you believe in God or not

I read it but I still thought it was a bit unlikely, they could have said they visited him and he's on life support but stating they interviewed him I think would be a direct fib.

I agree with you for the rest, its still very disturbing the way Nigerian police behave. But that shouldn't mean the press should lie. It hurts their credibility.

Lagos Police? Do we now have state police in Nigeria? Na wa for trying to spice up the post!

Na today you know Nigerian Police?

POOR-licemen. SMH

Dis one no be go come issue.... 9ja police go surely lie so broz once ur waka don firm SUE dem i carry God name beg u..... If any Lawyer de read dis comment dis na opportunity to hammer ooooooooooooooo

Police MUST ALWAYS BE EXPOSED IN NAIJA ON ALL INJUSTICE!!!


Well Done and kudos to Punch and other such journalists!!!

Ngo blaide ur downfall is near wit all useless defense of police all d time- U̶̲̥̅̊ don go involve AC now wey go deny ur statement. Dere is no point- Naija- make una go get gun- obj has given us d green light- operation fire 4 fire- police harass U̶̲̥̅̊ wit gun, U̶̲̥̅̊ harass am wit fire. Period. Blaide U̶̲̥̅̊ better learn from ur predecessors.

I HATE policemen. They are very WICKED! This issue of stray bullets or shooting deliberately at innocent citizens happens very well expecialy in lagos. I have heard it,frnds have told me. Infact i have witnessed it.two guys were fighting over one stupid gal, a policeman came and wanted to seperated them from fighting,the oda guy was proving stubborn,b4 we (passers by) knew it,the policeman shot dat guy and he died instanta. Infact i ran into a shop wen i heard pooo! Only to turn around and d guy was on d floor.

What happened 2 ballistics? Why can't the bullets from the victims be used 2 trace which guns they were shot from? The Police are also crazy! How can u see a man hiding under a car and u shoot him? Will an armed man hide? In their numbers, the man was already overpowered so why not haul him out from under said car for proper identification? Na wa 4 we country sha!
