The Homicide Section of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested two suspects as it commenced investigation into the killing of an APC chieftain, Salawe Daramola.
The Lagos State Police Command's spokesman and Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Kenneth Nwosu, has confirmed that two suspects who reportedly killed All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Salawe Daramola, has been arrested.
In an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) today, he confirmed the arrest, but did not disclose the identity of the suspects. However, he said they were arrested during the Sallah celebration in different parts of the state.
He disclosed that the suspects had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for investigation.
The two gunmen who came on a motorcycle on Thursday evening last week, shot dead Daramola, a chieftain of APC in Ward B in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area. It was learnt that the assailants stormed the deceased’s residence at K Close, 3rd Avenue, FESTAC Town and shot him at close range three times. The suspects arrived the place at about 5:30 p.m to perpetrate the dastardly act.
Nwosu said the suspects were first interrogated by the Area E Commander, ACP Frank Mba to ascertain their level of involvement, and from there they were allegedly indicted before being taken to SCID.
