An unidentified officer of the Nigeria Police Force has reportedly stabbed a man at Sky Mall on the Lekki-Epe Expressway in the Sangotedo area of Lagos State.
An X user [@NotMentus] who claimed to be a brother of the victim took to the social media page on Saturday to mention that the officer and his accomplice are currently evading authorities.
“Good morning, sir; my brother got stabbed to death by one of the police officers attached to Skymall at Sangotedo LEKKI.
“The officer is currently on the run, his colleague too is on the run,” he wrote.
Reacting to the disturbing situation, the spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, sympathized with the netizen and assured him that the force and other security agencies would take necessary action.
He wrote: “I hope the command is aware of this. Work with @BenHundeyin, @LagosPoliceNG, and they will do the needful. Sorry about that. We will wade in, too. @PoliceNG, @FCID_ANNEX, @PoliceNG_CRU, take necessary action as well. Thanks.”
