Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP), Imohimi Edgal, has said he deeply regretted the “unwarranted use of firearm” by a police Superintendent attached to the Sagamu Road Police Station, Divisional Crime Officer(DCO), SP Opawoye Adetunji.<\/p>\n

Imohinmi has also directed that the officer be issued a “comprehensive query” for shooting a civilian on Sunday,April 15, 2018, for a yet-to-be-determined reason. <\/p>\n

According to a press statement issued on behalf of the Lagos State Police Command by the Police Public Relations Officer,SP Chike Oti,the officer, who is currently recuperating in an undisclosed hospital alongside his victim, has not been able to give his statement.<\/p>

This is because he is still unconscious as a result of the beatings he received and injuries sustained when the mob attacked him at the scene of the incident. <\/p>\n

“The CP further directs that as soon he regains consciousness , he should be served with the query. <\/p>\n

“The Command has never and would never tolerate the use of firearm outside the provisions of Force Order 237,” the statement read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
