Some yet-to-be-identified men of the Nigeria Police Force, Ogun State command, have reportedly killed two commuters, a truck driver and his motor boy, along the Itori axis of the Lagos-Abeokuta expressway.
Daily Post gathered that the policemen in their
patrol van on Monday met the victims driving against traffic to avoid the bad
portion of the road in Ewekoro Local Government, the same offence the cops were
also said to be guilty of.
A source said, “When they saw the truck driver, they told him to turn back. The driver was trying to be reluctant and they shot his tyres.”
“This led to an altercation and at the end of the
day, the policemen shot dead the truck driver and his motor boy. That was why
the youths of Itori blocked the road to protest the unjust killing of the
driver and his colleague,” an eyewitness said.
The incident led to the disruption of all commercial
activities in the area.
For hours, commuters were stocked in traffic without any end in sight to the traffic jam, which started building up around 4pm.
Many motorists, therefore, used bushy alternative
routes, where they were compelled to “settle” area boys before they could
progress in their journey.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Public Relations
Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed to the media there was an incident in
Itori but he said he was yet to be fully briefed about the incident by the
Divisional Police Officer in Itori.
