The Nigeria Police did a wonderful job
Yesterday , Wednesday November 25, 2015
when some of its officers engaged some
armed robbers in a shoot out and killed
five suspects in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos
state.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), apart from the suspect killed during
the fierce gunbattle, one of them was
arrested alive with bullets wounds.
Police sources informed that the suspects
had engaged policemen from Elemoro
Division in Ajah during the severe
shootout, and five of them lost their lives
on the spot.
The source said: “The police in Elemoro
got information that the suspects were
operating at Abule Parapo, opposite
Awoyaya in Elemoro area of Ajah around 2
a.m.
“The suspects engaged the police in a
shootout as soon as they saw them. Two
locally made double barrel shot guns, one
cutlass and iron cutter was recovered from
them.
“The gang had been terrorising residents of
Ajah, robbing and raping women.” After
the shootout, the corpses of the dead and
the injured suspects were reportedly taken
to the Lagos state police command
headquarters, Ikeja at about 12.15 pm,
NAN reports.
The case has since been taken over from SP
Sani Limawa, the Divisional Police Officer
at Elemoro by operatives of the Special
Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) for further
investigation.
DSP Joseph Offor, the police spokesperson,
when contacted, noted that he was yet to
get a report on the issue.
