2 Policemen Involved In Killing Of Daudu Waliu, Father Of 4, Arrested - Police

The Lagos State Police Command says it has arrested two policemen involved in the death of a father of four, Daudu Waliu.

Punch reports that the father of four, who was into rentals, had gone to pack chairs rented by the Celestial Church of Christ when he was hit by a stray bullet on Sunday at Ladipo in Oshodi.

It was gathered that the cops, who accompanied a dignitary to the church’s event, fired shots to scare away some miscreants, who had accosted their principal.

The spokesman for the police in Lagos, Bala Elkana, said, “We have commenced an investigation into the matter by tracing the guest who came with the mobile policemen and we have identified him, which led to the arrest of the two mobile policemen, who are in our custody.

“One of them admitted that he fired a shot where he was, while the victim was on another street. We are still investigating. If the officers are found guilty of professional misconduct, they will be dismissed from service and charged with murder, but we are still investigating why the shot was fired.”
