Civil Defence Corp Shoots Boy, Over Fuel by Jossy4luv1(m): 11:05pm On Apr 06, 2016 |
…..eyewitnesses said the Commander of the team
who felt that the boy was resisting arrest, ordered
a female official to shoot the “Bastard” and the
woman obeyed his order and shot him…..
The fuel lingering crisis has claimed lives as a
female staff of the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corp (NSCDC) shot dead a boy and
another unidentified person at the AP Filling
Station 21, Road, FESTAC Town.
The boy was alleged to have bought fuel in jerry
cans and was going home when he was accosted
by a team of civil Defense officials who arrested
him.
The boy who should be about 18- years- old was
said to have laid down on the road pleading with
the corps members to allow him to go home as
he was not a fuel hawker but had just bought the
fuel for personal use.
Eyewitnesses said the Commander of the team
who felt that the boy was resisting arrest, ordered
a female official to shoot the “Bastard” and the
woman obeyed his order and shot him.
On seeing the boy dying in the pool of his blood,
the corps members zoomed off in their patrol van
and ran away.
As at press time, men of the enhanced military
patrol tagged ‘OP Mesa’ and the Nigeria Police
led by the FESTAC Police Station Divisional Police
Officer (DPO), Monday Agbonika were on the
ground, making sure that angry mob did not take
laws into their hands.
The angry sympathisers had attempted to set the
filling station and some petrol tankers ablaze but
were prevented by the security operatives.
A senior Police officer who spoke on the condition
of anonymity said the killing of the young boy
was unwarranted
“Why should they kill the boy? I think, the Civil
Defence corps doesn’t know when to use
firearms. They don’t even have regulation on
firearms usage.”
Lagos State police command spokesman, Dolapo
Badmos who confirmed the incident told The
Guardian that the police was investigating the
matter with a view of fishing out the Civil Defence
personnel who committed the act and prosecuting
them in the law court.
“One person was shot dead while three others
were severely injured. The area commander Area
E is on ground restoring normalcy while the
command has commenced investigation to
identify the civil defence operatives that were
involved” Badmos said
However, attempt to set Forte Oil on fire was
prevented by teams of policemen deployed from
both the FESTAC Police Division and the Area E
Police Command.
“One person was shot dead while three others
were severely injured. The area commander Area
E is on ground restoring normalcy while the
command has commenced an investigation to
identify the civil defence operatives that were
involved.” bioreports.net/civil-defence-corp-shoots-boy-over-fuel/ |
