#EndSARS: Sanwo-Olu fingers two sergeants, two inspectors in connection with Surulere killing

THE Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has revealed the identities of suspected police officers involved in the death of an #EndSARS protester in Area C, Surulere.

Some protesters have been killed by police officers since the #EndSARS protest began.

One of those felled by the bullet was a 55-year-old Ikechukwu Iloamauzor, a driver, who was allegedly killed by a stray bullet three days ago while conveying his boss to an event in Surulere area.

Speaking about the incident that happened at Surulere, today, Governor Sanwoolu said that four officers have been arrested in connection with the incident.

The governor noted that he identified the policemen as two inspectors and two sergeants.

“Also, to mention that Lagos State is taking the issue of police misconduct very seriously, earlier this week, we all recall the incident that happened at the Area C Command in Surulere.

“All the four officers have been identified and are going through an orderly trial.

“All the four erring officers whose name I will also mention have also been apprehended and are going through an orderly trial. They are Inspector Bagou Michael, Inspector Ekpoudom Etop, – Sergent Nnamdi Madura, and Sergent Akinyemi Benson.

“We have also set up a panel to look into all cases of police brutality and fatality and have set up a N200m compensation fund. I will make all announcements shortly. Once again, I apologise to any protester that has faced brutality during any of the protests days.”
