Lagos State police have apprehended four of their officers for extrajudicial killings, and have promised to charge them for murder if found culpable.

A statement signed by the state Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, a Deputy Supritendent of Police, said, “Attention of Lagos state police command was drawn to a video on social media showing some police officers shooting two unarmed suspects who were arrested and already in their custody against the code of professional conduct and laws guiding how suspects in Police custody should be treated.

“Acting on the information, the Divisional Police Officer Iba promptly deployed the Divisional Patrol team to the scene. Two of the armed robbers were arrested while two escaped.
