A police sergeant identified simply as Sgt. Akor has passed away following a robbery incident that occurred in Igando community, Lagos Mainland.
It was gathered that the police officer was killed with two people were injured when some suspected armed robbers stormed the Igando community, Lagos Mainland, and robbed three petrol stations. The stations are Fawa, Forte Oil and Dapsey, New Telegraph reports.
The robbers, all armed with pistols, were said to have shot a female attendant at Forte Oil and killed the sergeant at Dapsey filling station. While the robbers succeeded in robbing Fawa and Forte Oil filling stations, they failed at Dapsey due to presence of policemen and soldiers. Although the law enforcement officers ensured that the filling station was not robbed, a sergeant was killed, while a soldier was injured.
