Two people were reportedly killed at a nightclub
known as Monalido in Apapa, Lagos, on Friday after four allegedly drunk
and armed policemen in the club opened fire for unknown reasons.
According to club’s workers, the police team made up
of two corporals and two inspectors had escorted an unidentified rich
man to the nightclub and were reportedly shooting sporadically in the
air on the premises.
Some of the fun seekers ran for cover but unfortunately, bullets hit two of them who died instantly
It was learnt that two members of the police team,
who were attached to the State Special Anti-Robbery Squad, had been
arrested by the officer in charge of SARS, Mr. Abba Kyari, and handed
over to the Apapa Police Division under whose jurisdiction the crime
occurred.
When contacted on telephone, the spokesperson for the
state police command, Mr. Joseph Jaiyeoba, said the two policemen were
being interrogated and if found culpable, they would be charged to court
for homicide.
