Pictured! Police Corporal Killed After Murdering Two In Agege

A mob yesterday shot dead Police Corporal Sunday David for
allegedly killing two persons in Agege, Lagos. The mob killed Sunday, who was
in mufti, as he tried to flee after his allegedly dastardly act.

David, popularly known as Iku Sunday, who was attached to
the Special Anti-Robbery Sqaud (SARS), was shot in the forehead and neck on
Salawu Street, Orile-Agege.

His assailants, it was learnt, caught up with him in traffic
around Elere, pursued him up to Salawu Street and shot him.

It was gathered that his blood was splattered on the seats
of his newly bought Toyota Camry saloon car; the side glass and the open roof
were shattered.

A resident in the neighbourhood said the incident occurred
around 3pm, adding that Sunday’s killers did not remove anything from him.

She said the police found the corporal’s remains behind his
steering with bullet wound on his neck.

According to an eyewitness, the corporal had a pistol in his
pocket, an AK47 rifle in his car’s boot, a gold necklace and cash, but they
were not taken by his killers.

It was gathered that Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS)
operatives and officers from Elere Police Division, took his body to the Ikeja
General Hospital morgue.

“It was at the point of searching that the police realised
he was one of their own. The man shot two people, one in the chest and the
other in the neck.

“He lives around here and they said he was running when
those chasing him caught up with him in traffic and killed him.

“We heard that nothing was taken from his car. The people he
shot were rushed to the hospital but we later heard they died in the hospital,”
she said.

Another eyewitness told The Nation that the late policeman
opened fire on the victims on a football pitch.

A source said the late Sunday, who is survived by three
children, is in trouble because of the guns found on him.

According to the senior police officer, Inspector-General of
Police (IGP) Solomon Arase has directed that policemen should never take guns
home.

The officer said investigations would show how the late
corporal, who was yet to report to his new place of assignment at SARS Ikorodu,
came about the guns.

“It is a serious issue. He has been posted to Ikorodu for
over one week now but he has not reported there. We are yet to know how he had
two guns in his possession and what he was doing with them.

“Just the fact that he had those guns means dismissal.
Because the IGP has been warning since last year that no policeman should take
weapons home after duty.

“We cannot say it was armed robbery since his attackers did
not take anything from him. He had two guns, a gold chain, and money bit none
was touched.

“They just killed him and ensured he was dead. I do not know
the condition of the people he shot but I heard one died in the hospital,” said
the police source.
