Lagos Police command arrest four police men who shot dead unarmed suspects inside a bus after arresting them (Photo)

Lagos Police command arrest four officers seen in viral video shooting to unarmed suspects

The Lagos State Police Command responded to the viral video on social media showing some Police Officers shooting two unarmed suspects who were arrested and already in their custody by arresting the guilty officers and charging them for murder.

 

According to the state PRO, Bala Elkana, their action is against the code of professional conduct and laws guiding how suspects in Police custody should be treated. The Policemen were identified as Inspector Fabiyi Omomayara, Sergeant Olaniyi Solomon,  Sergeant Solomon Sunday and Corporal Aliyu Mukaila  attached to Iba Division Patrol team.

 

The incident happened on 19/8/2019 at about 3.00pm, when Iba Police Station received a distress call  from one Anugu Valentine that he was attacked by a group of armed men numbering about four  on two  motorcycles at Ipayi area, Iba and they dispossessed him of one iPhone  max valued at #450: 000.  

 

Acting on the information, the Divisional Police Officer Iba promptly deployed the Divisional Patrol team to the scene. Two of the armed robbers were arrested while two escaped. Two locally made pistols with six life cartridges and five expended cartridges were recovered. The gang is said to be notorious for series of robberies in Iba and environs. It was a well celebrated operation by the team as the suspects were gallantly arrested.

The team however, went extreme by killing the suspects who were already in their custody instead of taking them to the Police Station and allowing the normal process of investigation and prosecution to be initiated as stipulated under procedural laws.

That act of extra judicial killings falls short of police professional standards and cannot be condoned by the Command. The Commissioner of Police Lagos State, CP Zubairu Muazu mni has ordered a thorough investigation into the incident.

The Police Officers are currently subjected to internal disciplinary proceedings known as Orderly Room trial and if found culpable, they will be dismissed from the Force and will be handed over to the State Criminal Investigation Department Yaba for prosecution in the conventional Court. Members of the Public will be updated on the outcome of the investigation and trial.

      These bastards probably killed them to cover up something.

      I was saying it here yesterday that Nigerian policemen are bunch of institutionalized hungry raccoons, ravenous hyenas, scoundrels, rogues and bandits with AK47s. You can imagine subduing a criminal on a restrain, in handcuffs and still going ahead to kill the criminals, how do you proceed with investigations like that? I once asked on Quora, "If and assailant should attack me with an intent to kill, and I incapacitated and overwhelmed him/her, that he/she is as harmless as a baby, if I should go ahead and kill the assailant with their own weapon, can I claim self defense or it's a "cold blooded murder?" You won't believe the answers coming in, you know how Quora works, real life policemen, detectives, judges, lawyers etc... All said I have just comitted a first degree murder, despite how I twisted the question to gain me favour by even saying "killing them with their own weapon". They all gave real life scenarios of how a resident killed a burglar, armed robber and all went to jail. Here our own police are shooting thieves on restrains, subdued thieves, incapacitated thieves. NIGERIA IS A HELL HOLE.

      Police is trying to downplay their offence! This is outright murder!!! The officers are murderers!!! They should be tried for murder, and locked up for life!! Fellow inmates in their cells should also be notified that these men are murderers, else theirs should be solitary confinement

      Thou the high rate of insecurity, kidnapping etc is so worrisome and everyone is angry including the police officers being accused of not doing enough but this doesn’t justify the killings of already disarmed robbers , they brought this upon themselves and now they are in serious trouble. May they enjoy their terms in prison .

  4. Vay Gun

    Good. I saw the video and couldn't differentiate the act of those Coward Police to that of a Terrorist. The Law Court should decide the fate of all Criminals/Suspect not Police. Worst of all Criminal should have his/her days in Court and not be killed without trial

  5. Naekedtruth AnythingFunny

    Lets be very Honest and true to ourselves in this country. this are not the same faces we see on that video. they dont even look close to those people. can we re-watch the video please. this people paraded look like dummies...

    1. Gab

      The faces here are different from the video's. It was Sars operatives that shot the suspects.

  6. Hrm paul

    Good no more jungle justice or kill and go these men will suffer, they will suffer bastards.Insteas of taking this boys to the station dey opened fire on dem

  7. Gideon Abdu

    They were not SARS officials... Now nobody should start typing #endsars

    1. Anonymous

      You are fool, SARS is still under the NPF. They are only trained to tackle arm robbery.

  8. Dudumayo

    I think it’s high time we do something about some of our police officers. They’re always making a mess so maybe their training routine should be amended.

      Shut the fuck up , u complain of insecurity, u complain of leaving the criminals and killing innocent now they killed robbers caught red handed with lethal weapon, you are here typing thrash again . Fuck off . Criminals killed criminals, they will both pay but don’t abuse them

  9. Anonymous

    if u ever or relative fall victim to robbers u will realis that those crooks don't deserve life .Our justice system is zero, Police waste all the criminals except innocent Nigerian.

    Sars or no sars, i don't feel pity for the armed robbers. Others are busy working, and these ones chose their own trade which is robbing people. No one can tell, how many souls those armed robbers have wasted already. The other potential armed robbers will learn from this. The wages of sin is death!

  11. Ajewole

    Not seen the videos....still, Nigeria can be a jungle...and we are all freaking out....If the officers have seen their colleagues murdered in cold blood and the judicial system acquire suspects for lack of diligent prosecution...I imagine their gripe

    what type of training and orientation do they give these guys upon their recruitment, such training is clearly not working as they act completely uncontrollably.

  17. innocent ugo

    They really went too far, even duo they are armed robbers, they shouldnt kill them like that

  18. Peter Edwards

    Mr. officer, what do you mean dismissed 'if found culpable"? Was there not a clear video evidence of their culpability? Oh ok, I see what you did there. You're trying to free them on a technicality!...Nice try!
