Policeman goes berserk, kills colleague, injures
others in shooting spree
A Policeman, Inspector Monday Gabriel, went
berserk, in Ikoyi area of Lagos, opening fire on
his colleagues, killing one of them in the process,
while others sustained bullet wounds.
Vanguard gathered the Police officer, Gabriel,
attached to Squadron 21 of the Police Mobile
Force, Abuja, was on Special duty at the Federal
Inland Revenue Service in Ikoyi area of the state
with other colleagues.
There was reportedly a disagreement between
him and his colleagues, over an unknown reason,
when he suddenly opened fire on them, killing
one of them, Sergeant Felix Okago, on the spot,
while others managed to escape with bullet
wounds.
Thereafter, he hijacked the team’s escort van,
shooting as he zoomed off. But the white van
reportedly got stuck, at Akoka, Yaba. Unable to
move further, he came out and attempted to
force his way into a building but could not.
He was said to have released several shots
which perforated the metallic door of the
building, in his attempt to go in, causing
frightened residents to take cover in their
respective apartments, from where they put calls
across to Police authorities.
Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad and
policemen from the Bariga division who were
alerted arrived at the scene where the trigger-
happy cop was seen screaming.
Confirming the incident, the Lagos State Police
Public Relations Officer, DSP Elkana Bala, said,
“He was intercepted along Akoka, disarmed and
handcuffed. The rifle and vehicle were
recovered.
“The corpse of the deceased Sergeant is
deposited in the mortuary for autopsy while the
Inspector is taken to Police Hospital for medical
examination as he presented signs of mental
depression.
“The Commissioner of Police has directed the
Deputy Commissioner of Police to take over the
investigation.
“The Command deeply condoles with the family
of the fallen colleague who paid the supreme
price in service to his fatherland”.
