LAGOS—The grieving family of one Toheeb Eniafe, who was shot dead by an officer of the Nigeria Police Force on May 1, 2024, in Obalende area of Lagos State, has asked the Inspector General of Police, IGP, to hasten the investigation into the death of their son as the family was no longer comfortable with unnecessary delay in their investigation.
Addressing the newsmen in Ikeja, Lagos, weekend, the family, which spoke through Mr. Noheem Eniafe, raised the alarm over the delay, asking the IGP to order a thorough investigation to unmask the officer who shot unarmed Toheeb. “The police authorities have not provided any vital information to the family of the deceased. We are asking for justice for the deceased. The deceased aged parents are pleading to all the authorities, government, and both local and international human rights organisations to come to our aid. “
“While one of the vehicles was attached to two armed mobile policemen, the other was not. The hindrance caused by the Hilux vehicles preventing motorists from exiting the filling station elicited uproar from all present. Within the intervening period, Officer Christian and his unidentified colleague dashed away briefly, only to return on a motorcycle with a loaded rifle hanging from the latter’s neck.
