The Lagos state police command has arrested a police Sergeant
whose name has not yet been revealed, for allegedly stabbing an
Inspector, Francis Adekunle, to death and injuring another victim
while under the influence of alcohol over the weekend.
The erring officer who is currently being detained at the State
Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID) Yaba,
lives in the same compound in Oke-Odo with his deceased
colleague and other tenants. Several complaints have been made
about how he drinks to stupor and attacks people in the process.
The Nation reports that over the weekend, the Sergeant went
berserk after drinking alcohol at a nearby liquor store and returned
to his compound in Oke-Odo. The Sergeant reportedly picked a
quarrel with one of his neighbors, and was chasing the man about
with a cutlass when the Inspector, said to be attached to the Special
Protection Unit (SPU) 2 Ikeja, intervened. It was in the process the
Sergeant pounced on the inspector with the machete, leaving
several cuts on his legs and body.
It was gathered that the victim was rushed to the hospital where he
died this morning Monday, June 8.
A police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity, demanded
justice for the deceased Inspector.
“He drives a fully tinted Toyota Camry car with no plate
number. He was reported at the Okeodo, Ile Epo Police
Station for his previous actions but nothing was done to
call him to order before he perpetrated this evil act. I saw
Inspector Adekunle in the evening on his hospital bed. He
was still alive then. Unfortunately, I received a call from his
brother, Ojo Adekunle that he just passed on.
The doctor also confirmed his death. I am using this
medium to appeal to the CP Hakeem Odumosu to do the
needful and prosecute this killer Sergeant that has been
terrorising everyone in the vicinity. This kind of character
should not be in the Nigeria Police,” an officer said
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Lagos state police
command, Bala Elkana, said an investigation into the incident has
commenced.
“This did not happen in the barracks. They both stay in
town with other civilians. They were neither on duty nor
anywhere near police facility when it happened. I have to
correct that impression because a lot of people have been
calling me to say it happened inside barrack.
No matter where it happened, a crime was committed and
the suspect is in custody. I will issue a statement soon on
this incident” he said
