tragedic.....

Show me some some fam, today is my birthday

How will their mother cope

This is really tragic! May we not be at the wrong place at the wrong time. The lady even dreamt about them? Only if they had listened...... Later, some people will say dream is nothing. SMH!

Very pathetic! I wonder why those who are trust to protect us will continue to harm us every time. The police needs a complete overhauling.

Dese days wen i see a police officer i try nd avoid dem as best as i could
I don't want stories dat touch
RIP TO THE DEAD

Only the worst amongst us have got the job to do the best to protect us, how come we will not be in a mess?

Even tho corrupt and all that, the same police are still victims of the same awkward system we run in this country.

Little wonder how easily this frustration can set in.

Yet it aint hard to tell, this same Nigeria that uniformed men: Police/Army take delight and glory in shooting unarmed protesters with raw live bullets!

What a life

When police authrities wont conduct regualr pshychiatric evaluation on police officers.

Poor motheran having to mourn her only children.

That is why you hardly see corrupt and trigger-happy police kids successful in life. Their kids are always criminals , miscreants and prostitutes and that is karma's way of paying them for their evil deed while in uniform.

Awon oloriburuku gbogbo.

Please has the Nigerian police change uniform?

POLICE JOB IS THE LAST WORK I WILL DO IN MY LIFE.....RIP TO DOSE GUYS

The police authority should enact a law like the military making it an offence for an officer to be in a bar or party with his gun or riffle.

Hmmmmmm.heart breaking News. Rip to them.

NPF...police is your your your friend...freeend

Sergent why?

A very useless police man.

Hope he rots in hell.

RIP to the innocent victims of uselessness.

Post No Bill....

cursed profession

Our system has continued to downplay mental illnesses and depression; they're real and ate gradually killing people. They're a lot of psychopaths in the society; many aren't just gone physically mad.

I hope the Police Department has adequate facilities to test the level of sanity of its people? There's something clearly wrong here.

One has to be really careful around these loose canons.

Howmon:
A drunk policeman, Stephen James, on Saturday shot dead three male customers at a hotel in the Ketu area of Lagos State.

SUNDAY PUNCH learnt that among the deceased were twin brothers identified as Taiwo and Kehinde Oyesunle and their friend known simply as Jeje. The twins were the only children of their mother.

The tragic incident; which happened outside the premises of Paulson Hotel on Anibaba Street around 4:20pm, threw the entire neighbourhood and its environs into chaos with passers-by and residents scampering in different directions.

According to eyewitnesses, trouble started when the police sergeant with Force number 217884, threatened to shoot customers if they failed to buy him an alcoholic drink. The policeman, who was said to be a habitual smoker of marijuana, however, felt offended after the victims – Taiwo, Kehinde and Jeje – cautioned him to comport himself as an adult and a responsible policeman.
early 30s, as they stepped outside the hotel premises where they had gone to celebrate Jeje’s birthday.

When the gravity of his act dawned on him, the policeman reportedly shot himself in the chest.

A guest at the hotel, who witnessed the killings, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the policeman had boasted about wanting to kill people hours before the incident happened.

The customer, who identified himself only as Femi, said all efforts to pacify the policeman proved abortive as he kept fomenting trouble and harassing visitors with his gun all afternoon.

buy him drinks. He boasted that he felt like killing someone today, but other customers and I pleaded with him.

“When the three guys walked in and sat, he went to them and threatened them too. But the guys told him to calm down that they would take care of him but he should comport himself as a responsible police officer.

“Nobody knew he took offence with their statement. The police officer shot the three guys one after the other as they stepped outside the hotel before killing himself. The whole thing happened like a movie,” he said.

Another resident Ladipo Idowu told our correspondents that the policeman was known to foment trouble in the area.

He said James usually fired his gun indiscriminately and the residents had warned the hotel authorities to caution him but nothing was done about it.

Another eyewitness, Dada Salawu, said, he was passing by when he saw the policeman and the three friends exchanging words. He said hardly had he left the area when the policeman opened fire on the victims.

A former girlfriend to one of the slain twins told SUNDAY PUNCH that they were the only children of their parents.

The lady, who was inconsolable as she spoke to one of our correspondents, said the twins were still mourning the death of their father who passed away in June 2014 when their lives were cut short.

Refusing to have her picture taken, she said, “I called them very early on Saturday morning not to go outside their compound after I dreamt of seeing blood. I called them again at about 2:00pm to warn them. The twins, however, decided to drive a vehicle a relation had just bought at about 3:00pm. They drove to Paulson Hotel.”

The Sports Utility Vehicle which the victims drove was still parked in front of the hotel by the time our correspondents left the scene.

An angry mob, which later gathered at the scene of the tragedy, attempted to burn down the hotel and destroy properties within its premises.

As irate youths threw bottles and stones at the hotel, lodgers ran out of their rooms with their luggage and fled the scene. As at the time of filing this report, the hotel had been completely deserted by staff and guests.

The youths also wanted to burn the corpse of the policeman, but policemen, who later got to the scene pleaded with them.

Policemen led by the Divisional Police Officer of the Ketu Police Station arrived at the scene at about 5.30 pm to carry the corpses away.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Joe Offor, confirmed the killings to our correspondents on the telephone. However, he said he had not yet received the full details of the incident.

DSP Joe Offor said, “The policeman was on duty at that hotel. He was attached to Mopol 22, Ikeja. He was drunk while on duty and he acted under the influence of alcohol.”

Efforts to speak with the management of the hotel on the incident proved abortive as it was deserted as of 6.30pm when one of our correspondents left the scene.

When one of our correspondents visited the home of the twins at No. 3, Dairo Street, Ketu, a sea of sympathisers were gathered, while friends of the victims vowed to revenge the killing. The entire neighbourhood was in tension with nearby hotels, drinking joints and shops closing for business earlier than usual.

But what is with Nigerian youths and destroying properties sef Very juvenile thugs!!

I m tired and speechless concern nigeria police that police division ve to paid damage to those victim

Any security officer attached to a hotel, club or bar should not be allowed to take alcohol. It should be a rule

the more reason police will never be respected.they are plain stupid

All those neighbours/staff who are now saying that the policeman was notorious for acting under the influence of alcohol should begin mentioning the names of those they have reported him to.

Nigerians are used to complaining without taking action.

If those foolish youths have protested the stationing of an armed and always drunk policeman in their community, the NPF would have been forced to remove him.
Now that innocent blood have been spilled, they want to forment trouble.

na so those idiots dey use gun threaten people on that road from Anthony linking mary land ..me wey don high from elegushi... o boy I hit the idiots comot for road..imagine wetin the foolish oga of police dey talk he was under the influence of alcohol so he killed innocent people..thier family should sue NPF to the last kobo..bastards

He will be tried, his boots anyways since he is dead, shameless officer.

Don't mind the misplaced priorities. They refused to demonstrate and protest when the SOB was reporting to his duty permanently drunk and threatening them, now they are making useless noise.

Nigerians have very little regard for human life.

Not the version I heard in my area.... We need not be so quick to believe what we read.
