Police in Lagos have begun investigating the killing of a man in the Shogunle area of the state by an unidentified mobile policeman.
Waliu Dauda, who runs a chair rental business, was hit by a bullet on Sunday night when he went to pack the chairs he rented out to a church at about 8 pm.
Lagos police spokesman, Bala Elkana, told newsmen on Monday that the command had received the news of the killing.
Mr Elkana said the command was already investigating the identity of the policeman, the victim and what led to the incident.
“We are investigating the case. I am gathering information for an update on the matter before going to the press,” he said.
A source said the church, located at Bello Street, had a special programme, where some invited dignitaries came with police escorts.
The source alleged that one of the policemen fired some shots into the air while leading an unnamed dignitary out of the church premises.
