Gunmen have k!lled the President General of the Obosi Community in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, Hon. Ike Okolo.

Hon. Okolo was sh0t d£ad at a filling station in the community about 8 p.m. on Monday, January 2, 2023.

A gory video of him showed the community leader was sh0t while behind the wheels of his SUV.

His k!llers are yet to be identified, although there were speculations that it might be the handiwork of cult groups which are rampant in the community.

The slain leader was said to be very vocal against unknown gunmen and the cult-related siege in his community.

Lagos State Police Command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin has announced that all policemen attached to the Ajah police station in Lagos State have been transferred out of the division.

Punch visited the police station after the recent k!lling of a pregnant lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, by an Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who was attached to the station.

They spotted some officers consuming alcohol in sachets while heavily armed upon closer observation. One of the officers who sat close to a barbing salon attached to a building beside the station, was reportedly seen with a glass cup of beer, which he allegedly sipped at intervals.

The report added that a policeman among another set of officers who took cover under a shed adjacent to the station was seen drinking a canned alcohol drink with a pistol strapped to his waist.

It was also reported that while some vendors found around the police station allegedly made some of the alcoholic drinks available within the officer’s reach, other officers stayed away from prying eyes by walking a distance to patronise other traders.

It was further learnt that most of the policemen had spent a long time in the area and had refused to be transferred.

After the exposé by Punch, the Lagos state command has now transferred all police officers attached to Ajah police state.

According to Hundeyin, this would fully materialise in a couple of days.

The statement read;

“I can confirm that this publication has been overtaken by events. The new DPO Ajah, CSP Adolf Ogwu, had earlier in the week dismantled all the shanties around the police station.

“In addition, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, CP Abiodun Alabi, has already effected the transfer out of ALL personnel of the division, with replacement from other divisions. This would fully materialise in a couple of days.

“While appreciating MobilePunch for the exposé, we encourage more Lagos residents to, as usual, say something whenever they see something, as this would translate to a better policing experience for all. Remember, security is everyone’s business.”
