Policemen in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State have been accused of killing two officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps.
It was learnt that five other officials of the NSCDC sustained gun shot wounds during the attack which occurred early Wednesday morning.
Sources at the NSCDC told newsmen that the slain officers, Gabriel Adaji and Innocent Akegbe, were on duty with their colleagues when they had an altercation with the police.
According to an eye witness, it was gathered that the NSCDC officials had gone on a raid, and arrested some vandals along with their exhibit, and were returning when the incident happened.
It was learnt that the vandals made calls to their police collaborators for support as they could not overwhelm the anti-vandals team of the Corps. Immediately the police got wind of the information, they laid siege for the Corps and opened fire on the NSCDC officials killing two while others scampered for safety with gunshot wounds as the vandals were immediately released by the police.
On seeing that it was the police, the men of the Corps refused to fire a single shot from their rifles but could only expressed shock at a sister security agency who ordinarily should assist in fighting crime and criminality, are the ones aiding them, while vandals continue to flourish in crime.
