Five anonymous police officers in Lagos State have been called to the headquarters for alleged improper behavior.
This information was released on Wednesday by Benjamin Hundeyin, spokesman for the Lagos State Police Command.
A young man driving a red Toyota Corolla out of a gas station after buying petrol on Ijede Road in the state’s Ikorodu district on Wednesday when several police officers allegedly tried to double-cross him, according to a post by 99% Oppressed @PIDOMNIGERIA on X (previously Twitter).
According to the poster, the young man was shot by cops inside the gas station.
The red Corolla automobile had some of its pieces damaged, as seen in the video that was posted alongside the article.
“This happened a few minutes ago, at Ijede Road Ikorodu Gbaga bus stop, at about 11:10 am,” 99% Oppressed said with an accompanying video.
“The young man in the red Corolla just bought fuel from the filling station and was driving out when this criminal police team tried to double cross him with their unmarked tinted glass Korope bus. He tried to reverse back out of fear, but the next thing they opened fire on him right inside the filling station.
“Even with a petrol tanker inside the station. The people around felt they had killed the driver so they trooped out to confront the police team in anger. The next thing the rogue police team bolted away when they saw the crowd, and realized they were being recorded.
“@BenHundeyin you must unmask these criminals and bring them to book. They wore face masks, caps, and glasses just to disguise themselves because they knew they were on illegal duty. The young man would just been wasted for nothing, because of their rascality if not for God. They destroyed his car and ran away.
“The entire area would have been on flames if the bullet had penetrated that fuel tanker.”
