Lagos State Police Command is still searching for a policeman, Inspector Dania Ojo, who allegedly shot dead a 20-year-old lady, Ada Ifeanyi, in the Ajegunle area of the state a few weeks ago.

Dania, on Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 7am, reportedly shot at Ada and her beau, 32-year-old Emmanuel Akomafuwa, who survived but with gunshot injuries.

But Ojo fled, prompting the command to declare him wanted.

According to Police Public Relations Officer, Bala Elkana, apprehending Ojo was to prosecute him, stating that disciplinary action had already been taken on his case.

Elkana, a Deputy Superintendent of Police said there were rules in the police, saying they tried him in absentia and found him guilty of wrongful use of firearms.

He said the command had dismissed him and stopped his salary, saying the only thing left was that whenever they apprehend him, they would arraign him in court.”

Elkana said five policemen were on duty that day and were about to close for another set to take over when the incident happened, saying the man and the lady were returning from a club when they said the car they were in hit an inspector. Ojo left his duty post and chased the car on a motorcycle.

He said Ojo became overzealous upon getting close to the car and shot at the occupants, leading to Ada’s death while Akomafuwa sustained gunshot wounds.

On the fate of other policemen with Ojo on the day of the incident, the spokesperson said following the killing, the command arrested the five policemen on duty that day.

He said the investigation carried out on the matter absolved the others as it was clear that Ojo was the only one guilty of professional misconduct.
