The family members of three of the
policemen killed by suspected vandals in the Ishawo, Ikorodu area of
Lagos State, have besieged the Owutu Police Station to demand the
corpses of their relatives.
The family members, who arrived at the
station around 7am, on Tuesday said they wanted the urgent intervention
of the police authorities in the situation.
PUNCH Metro had earlier reported that four policemen were attacked by some suspected pipeline vandals.
They were said to have opened fire on
the policemen after which three of the cops’ corpses were taken away by
the rampaging vandals.
Findings by our correspondent showed
that the vandals also set fire on the patrol vehicle of the policemen,
before escaping with their remains.
The affected policemen were identified
as Inspector Yerima Yakubu, Corporal Adakuro Peredigha, Sergeant Obi
Chukwudi and Sergeant Okoh Endurance.
While
Yakubu, Peredigha and Endurance were attached to the Owutu Police
Division, Chukwudi came from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad.
