FSARS operatives shoot lovers in Lagos, lady dead, boyfriend in critical condition
Operatives of The Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (FSARS) have reported shot dead a 20-year-old lady in the Olodi Apapa area of Lagos.
WuzupNaija gathered that the deceased, Jessica Ada, and her boyfriend, identified as Emmanuel aka AJ main boy, were returning from a club on Saturday, April 14, 2019, when they encountered the policemen.
The lovers and a friend had gone to Club J5 in Olodi Apapa on Friday and were returning around 6:30 a.m on Saturday when they were accosted by some SARS operatives who were on a bike.
Since there was no way to identify the officers, Emmanuel refused to stop for them and continued on his trip to drop Jessica at home, however, on getting to their destination, the officers showed up and opened fire on them.
Jessica was shot twice in the belly and once on the lap, while her boyfriend was shot at the back of his head, but their friend was unhurt. The officers were later identified by some eyewitnesses and the DPO of Trinity Police Station confirmed that they have been transferred to the headquarters in Ikeja for interrogation.
Popular Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman, who initially broke the sad news on Twitter, has called for death sentencing for police officers that engage in extra-judicial killings.
He wrote:
Men of the @PoliceNG from Trinity Police Station Ajegunle have killed another innocent Nigerian youth. They killed a 20yr old girl in Ajegunle while the boy that was with her was also shot and is fighting for his life. We demand the death sentence
