An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) attached to the Ajah Police Station in Lagos, has been arrested for shooting a female lawyer identified as Bolanle Raheem, to death on Sunday.
The State Police Command spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident in a statement on Monday, said the killer cop had been taken into custody after he and his team had fled the scene following the shooting.
“The officer involved in the shooting is an ASP; he has been arrested, detained, and will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, for further investigations,” Hundeyin said.
Other two police officers with him have also been arrested.
Raheem was reportedly killed by the trigger happy cop when she was returning from a church service with her husband.
The mischievous police officers were said to have mounted a checkpoint within the axis were the female lawyer was killed.
They were extorting money from motorists at the checkpoint.
