A drunk policeman, Stephen James, on Saturday
shot dead three male at Ketu area of Lagos State. The deceased were twin
brothers identified as Taiwo and Kehinde Oyesunle and their friend known simply
as Jeje. The twins were the only children of their mother. The tragic incident happened
around 4:20pm it threw the entire neighbourhood and its environs into chaos
with passers-by and residents scampering in different directions.
According to eyewitnesses, trouble started when
the police sergeant with Force number 217884, threatened to shoot if his
victims failed to buy him an alcoholic drink. The policeman, who was said to be
a habitual smoker of marijuana, however, felt offended after the victims –
Taiwo, Kehinde and Jeje – cautioned him to comport himself as an adult and a
responsible policeman. The eyewitnesses said the policeman ambushed and killed
the three young men, who were in their early 30s, as they stepped outside the
hotel premises where they had gone to celebrate Jeje’s birthday. When the
gravity of his act dawned on him, the policeman reportedly shot himself in the
chest.
