A 65 years old man was allegedly pushed into a drainage around the ikeja airport by a couple of policemen.
The cops were in pursuit of a danfo driver, when this ugly incident occured.
Blood started gushing out of the victim's head, and one of the policemen immediately fled the scene, while another was caught and beaten by an angry mob.
A video recording of the whole saga is still being studied to know the exact policeman who committed the crime.
The elderly man was said to be waiting at the stop for a bus.
The lagos state police public relations officer, SP Dolapo Badmus, in her words, She said, “We are still investigating and
exploring the video. We are studying the
video to ascertain if the (uniformed)
man is actually a policeman and to
ascertain where he is serving.
“We are investigating the case itself to
ascertain what occurred. Members of the
public should rest assured that if any
policeman or policemen are found
culpable, they will be dealt with.”
Kazeem, an eyewitness also made a statement, He said, “I learnt the policemen flagged
the danfo driver down at the Oshodi
area, but he refused to stop.
“The policemen chased the driver from
Oshodi in another bus. When he stopped
at the Airport bus stop for a passenger
to disembark, the policemen also got to
the bus stop and ran after him. Out of
desperation to catch up with the driver,
they pushed the elderly man into the
drain. The man should be in his late
6os. His corpse was later removed by a
police team on patrol. The police
authorities will know the policemen that
pushed the elderly man.”
Anhela Henry who is a trader at the busstop said the elderly man nled for about 30mins before he died.
Right after a police van came to pick his body, and the command still can'tppinpoint were he was taken to.
