Festac Town killing: Civil Defence yet to hand over suspect to us —Police

The Lagos State Police Command has said that the investigation into the killing of a petrol hawker on April 6 in Festac Town had not been abandoned.

The command’s spokesperson, DSP Dolapo Badmos, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, on Saturday, that the suspected killer of the hawker was yet to be handed over by the Nigeria Security Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) for interrogation.
NAN reported that a man allegedly died when operatives believed to be from the NSCDC were trying to arrest and seize jerry cans of petrol from the hawkers.
The situation was brought under control by the police and other security agents.
“Investigation into the killing is still on, but the suspect has not been handed over to the police.
“We have requested the Lagos State command of the NSCDC to hand over the suspect for interrogation and there is nothing we can do for now,’’ Badmos said.
Efforts to get the NSCDC spokesman in the state, Mr Chibuzor Mefor, to comment on the development were unsuccessful as he did not responds to calls or SMS sent to him.
