An Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) attached to Ajah Division, Lagos State, has killed a female lawyer on Christmas Day.
It was gathered that the lawyer, her sister, and four children were returning from a Christmas outing in their car at about 11.00 a.m. when the policeman tried to stop them.
A source said the woman was trying to make a U-turn under the Ajah Bridge when the ASP allegedly shot at her vehicle and the bullet hit her.
“She was rushed to a hospital where she was confirmed dead,” the source disclosed.
Confirming the incident via a statement issued on Monday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated that the ASP has been arrested.
