The Lagos State Police Command has confirmed that one of its officers sh%t and k+lled a young man at a filling station belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited at Obalende area of the state on Wednesday evening, May 1.

The deceased, identified as Toheeb Eniasa, was sh%t d£@d for trying to stop the officer and his colleague from jumping the queue at the filling station.

According to Vanguard, an eyewitness Idowu, trouble started when two police officers drove into the station to buy petrol while many others were on the queue to buy the scarce product.

Explaining further, Idowu said: “The actions of the armed officers were met with stiff resistance from people who had been waiting in the queue for over five hours. The deceased Toheeb Eniasa was one of the people who spoke loudly against the officers asking them to join the queue like everyone else.

Quickly the verbal confrontation degenerated into a fisticuff. One of the men sh%t the young man and immediately fled the incident scene leaving the area in disarray.”

According to another eyewitness, a food vendor Funmi Aina said: “That is what they always do. It was not Toheeb’s turn yet but he confronted them, asking them to join the queue or be polite about the way they went about the purchase.

“One of them was so impatient. He sl@pped Toheeb and he retaliated with more words. Before we could know it, we heard g¥nshots and Toheeb fell to the ground.

Livid by the incident, an irate mob in the community went on rampage b¥rning two security vans in the process.”

It will be recalled that in the past one week commuters, motorists and residents have been struggling to purchase fuel because of the scarcity. The scarcity has led to an increase in transport fares and queues at various filling stations selling the product.

Confirming the incident, the spokesperson Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said: “I can confirm that somebody was sh%t d£ad. I can confirm that the body has been deposited in the morgue.”

A 55-year-old Nigerian businessman, Williams Raymond, has denied assaulting a lawyer, Ajiki John Boluwaji.

He also dismissed the claim of illegally detaining one of the workers, Lekan Adewole, over the disappearance of his 17-year-old son, Adam, about two weeks ago.

The development comes as the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Gwagwalada Branch, accused Raymond of sponsoring assailants to beat up the lawyer when he went to serve him a demand letter over the alleged unlawful detention of his client, Adewole.

 

But Raymond, in a statement to journalists on Wednesday, queried the report, claiming that it was Boluwaji who came to his office at Apo Market Junction, in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and hauled insults at him when he insisted that his lawyer must go through the demand letter before honouring it or appending his signature.

According to the embattled father, the lawyer, who was shabbily dressed, assaulted a shop owner, Itoro Dominic Robert, who came to intervene when the verbal exchange took a dangerous twist.

Also, he clarified that the lawyer’s phone was not seized, nor was he prevented from calling for help.

“He was not looking like a lawyer. In fact, he wore slippers.

“I said all these things are false.’ I will not sign. I will wait for my lawyer to advise me accordingly.’ He became unruly. He spoke to me as if I were his child. He also called me unprintable names. I do not know his motives.

“The person who assaulted the lawyer has been detained. He was a passerby,” he said.

In the viral video, two armed policemen were seen trailing the actress closely as she jogged casually, sparking outrage and questions over the misuse of state security personnel.

The Nigeria Police Force has announced disciplinary action against some of its armed officers who were caught on video bizarrely jogging behind Nollywood actress Angela Okorie during her workout — an act the Force described as “unprofessional and embarrassing.”

In the viral video, two armed policemen were seen trailing the actress closely as she jogged casually, sparking outrage and questions over the misuse of state security personnel.

Reacting to the video in a statement on Wednesday, the Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the conduct of the officers “clearly falls below the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force,” adding that their actions have triggered “widespread public criticism.”

The statement, titled ‘Viral Video Of Actress Angela Okorie With Armed Policemen’, read in part: “The Nigeria Police Force strongly frowns at the conduct of armed police officers seen in a viral video trailing actress Angela Okorie while she jogged — an act considered clearly inconsistent with the professional standards and decorum expected of personnel of the Force.

“The incident, which appears to have occurred on or around a movie set, has also sparked widespread public concern and criticism.

“While it remains unclear whether the scene was part of a scripted production, the conduct of the officers seen in the video falls short of the standards expected of members of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Accordingly, necessary administrative processes have been initiated to identify the officers involved and determine the circumstances surrounding the video, while appropriate disciplinary action will be taken based on the outcome of the review.”

Adejobi noted that the Force remains committed to maintaining professionalism, discipline, and public trust.

This is coming a month after the Inspector General of Police issued a stern directive warning all personnel against uploading photographs of themselves in uniform to social media platforms.

The directive also prohibited sharing any official police documents online and warned against carrying luggage or umbrellas for Very Important Persons (VIPs).

According to an internal wireless message dated May 3, 2025, and exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters, the instruction was relayed to all personnel of the Police Mobile Force, No. 13PMF Squadron in Makurdi, Benue State.

The memo, signed by ACP Hassan S. Aliyu, the Commanding Officer, read: “The Inspector General of Police has reiterated his warning on NPF Social Media Policy, and further directs that, on no account, should any police personnel use his or her uniform picture on any social media.

“He further warns that any official documents are also prohibited to be (sic) published on social media, while those attached to V.I.P’s are warned not to carry any V.I.P’s luggage (bags) or umbrellas, any disobedience to these directives will be viewed with severe sanction.”
