The story making round that two disgruntled DSS staff allegedly fired at a member of the public in a filling station over a minor squabble and incidentally were also attacked by an angry mob present at Obalende area of Lagos is being refuted. The Police PRO in Lagos has been contacted for further enquiries on the incident.
Department of State Services in a statement claimed that the person behind the shooting has been identified as a police officer serving at Special Protection Unit (SPU) Base 17, Lion Building, Lagos.
Investigation is still ongoing and further findings will be made available to the public. Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command is working with the family of the deceased to ensure that there is no miscarriage of justice.
