Scores of youths in Idimu, Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, on Tuesday protested the alleged killing of one Ahmed Segun by a riot policeman attached to a company in the area.
It was learnt that police personnel from Idimu and neighbouring areas were mobilised to the scene and were complemented by men of the Rapid Response Squad to quell the riotous gathering.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana, said preliminary investigation revealed that the youth were reacting to the death of Segun, 32, who was allegedly shot by a riot policeman guarding a company in the area.
Elkana stated that on August 6, around 9pm, the command received a distress call that some youths, armed with dangerous weapons, attacked a car stand at the Council area, Ikotun Road, Idimu, and were about to set the building ablaze.
He said, “Police teams from Idimu and neighbouring police stations were mobilised to the scene. Reinforcements were also sent from the Rapid Response Squad.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the youth were reacting to the death of Ahmed Segun, 32, who was purported to have been shot by a riot policeman protecting the company.”
According to him, eyewitnesses stated that an argument ensued between the riot policeman and the deceased, which resulted in a physical confrontation.
He added that some of the eyewitnesses narrated that the deceased and his friends made an attempt to forcefully gain access into the company, but were resisted by the cop, which resulted in a fight and the eventual shooting of Segun.
“The group of youths is notorious for harassing people in the area. The whereabouts of the said mobile policeman is unknown. It is not certain if he is dead or alive,” Elkana stated.
He added that the state Commissioner of Police, Zubairu Muazu, had ordered an in-depth investigation into the case.
