“Upon the information, policemen swiftly moved to the place, but before getting there, he had left the place. He was however traced to his in-law’s house where the police operatives caught up with him.

“Having realized that the game is up, he brought out a pistol and started firing at the policemen. The operatives were left with no other alternative than to fire back consequence upon which he was shot dead.
“Recovered from him are a locally made pistol, a matchete, assorted charms and a Toyota Highlander SUV with two different registration numbers”. The PPRO stated.
The Ogbere DPO had been shot and seriously injured by the gang during one of their robbery operations at Ijebu Itele.

Police usually murder these suspects in cold blood,plant gun on them and claim they engaged the police in a fire fight before they were gunned down during exchange of fire.

What happened to arresting the culprit,interrogate him to get to the root of the crime so as to avoid future occurrence and then bring him to justice by charging him to court.

Incompetent,fantastically corrupt,notorious,murderous and lazy Nigeria Police force.
