Hoodlums Raze Ile Iwe Police Station In Lagos, Kill Police Officer |The Source

By Akinwale Kasali

A policeman was killed and a police station take-down Friday evening, when hoodlums attacked yet another Police station  and razed it down.

Pandemonium reigned at Ile Iwe, Meiran Command Road, in Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, for the period the attack lasted.

There were sporadic gun shots by the Police to scare the hoodlums, who remained defiant.

In the process, a policeman was killed, while one of the Hoodlums was shot at close range, before the remaining policemen took to their heels.

Policemen from Ile Epo Police Command came in their numbers for backup, and  to salvage the situation, chasing the hoodlums away, and putting off the fire.

An eyewitness told the magazine that the attack on the Police Station and its men was staged by the Hoodlums, who had barricaded the Ile Iwe/Ekoro road in solidarity with the #EndSARS campaign and the killing of youths at Lekki Toll Gate few days ago.

He stressed that the Policemen were caught  unawares as the hoodlums carried out the attack in a commando style.

Since the #ENDSARS protest started, not less than  six police divisional headquarters have been razed in Lagos. And so have banks, private business premises and Government agencies and offices, courts,  running into trillions of Naira in losses.
