Lagos State Police Command has commenced investigation into alleged killing of a Police Inspector by some naval officers in the Okokomaiko area of Ojo.
The state police spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed this in a statement on Sunday, said a report on the incident was received at the Okokomaiko Police Station around 4:30pm on Saturday from some members of the public.
According to Hundeyin, the report revealed that some policemen who were on a routine patrol along Igbo-Elerin tried to impound a motorcycle riding against traffic at the Beno Filling Station.
He said that two men on the motorcycle dressed in mufti, who claimed to be naval officers, resisted arrest and attacked the policemen.
“Other naval personnel in uniform arrived at the scene and supported their colleagues in the attack.
“It was when one Inspector slumped and was unconscious, that the naval personnel escaped from the scene.
“The inspector was rescued and rushed to a hospital in the area, where he was confirmed dead.
“The body has been deposited at the Idi-Araba Mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy, while investigation is ongoing,” the spokesman said.
