The Police Command in Lagos State has arrested one Insp. Charles Okoro, attached to the Ikotun Division for allegedly shooting and killing one Fatai Oladipupo, 28, along Obabiyi Road at Igando in Ikotun, near Lagos.

‘The wife of the deceased just delivered a fortnight ago, this is terrible,’’ said the witness.

Another witness who did not want his name mentioned said that the police officers along the route will have commercial vehicles and motorcyclists go to ATM just because of N100.
