Gunmen shot a policeman to death while three of his colleagues were seriously injured last Friday, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Police spokesman in Lagos State, Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said the assailants escaped with the rifle of the slain policeman.
He said operatives of the Imota Police Division in the Ikorodu area were on patrol duty when they came under the assailants’ attack at Emuren Junction, on Itokin Road in the area.
Local sources said the assailants, suspected to be errand boys of land grabbers, ambushed the police patrol team, opened fire on them and killed one on the spot before they escaped with his rifle.
“On Saturday, police raided cultists’ hideouts in Emuren, Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun,’’ a resident said.
Several innocent people had fallen victim to gun attacks by agents of land grabbers in Ikorodu and its environs in the past.
