An irate mob in Lagos state has murdered a police officer attached with Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) in retaliation to the death of an officer of the Lagos State Traffic Management (LASTMA), who was shot by the police officer.

“The Inspector that allegedly shot dead late Rotimi Adeyemo ‘m’ at Iyana-Ipaja Roundabout, Lagos at 6 pm of 28.11.2018 was beaten to stupor by an irate mob at the scene. This policeman also died while being rushed to the hospital,” Police spokesman Abayomi Sogunle said in a tweet.

He stated that “Both corpses have been deposited at Mainland General Hospital morgue, Lagos for autopsy, RIP. The name of the policeman is withheld because his NoK is yet to be notified by NPF. State CID Panti Yaba, Lagos is investigating the circumstances surrounding this double-murder case.”

LASTMA, also confirmed the death of Rotimi.
