What we know about Kolade Johnson’s killing — Police

The police have explained how they responded to the fatal shooting of Kolade Johnson in Lagos on Sunday.

Mr Johnson was killed by men suspected to be from police special anti-cultism unit as he watched a football match in his neighbourhood Sunday evening, in yet another pear-shaped police operation that has sparked nationwide outrage.

Nigerians are seeking justice for Mr Johnson’s family, as well as an urgent overhaul of all police special units, especially the special anti-robbery squad and the special anti-cultism squad.

Lagos police spokesperson, Bala Elkana, issued a statement at about 6:40 p.m. on Monday, announcing the arrest of members of the squad as investigation begins.

The announcement confirms earlier report by Premium Times which said three officers had been taken into custody and now face summary dismissal and prosecution.
