We’re Still Searching For Ajegunle Killer Cop –Police

Few months after Inspector Dania Ojo escaped after he allegedly shot dead a 20-year-old lady, Ada Ifeanyi in Lagos, the police have disclosed that they are still searching for the Ajegunle killer cop.

Recall that while the Lagos state police command subsequently arrested five policemen (Inspector Adamu Usman, Sergeant Adeyeye Adeoye, Sergeant Kashim Tijani, Sergeant Lucky Akigbe and Sergeant Paul Adeoye) in connection with the killing, Ojo fled, prompting the command to declare him wanted.

DSP Bala Elkana, the Lagos State Police spokesperson who gave an update disclosed that they are still searching for the Ajegunle killer cop. According to Bala, the killer cop’s arrest is to prosecute him as disciplinary action had already been taken on his case. Revealing that the five policemen were on duty that day and were about to close for another set to take over when the incident happened, Bala told Sunday Punch;

“We are still on the trail of the fleeing policeman. There are rules in the police. We tried him in absentia and found him guilty of wrongful use of firearms. We have dismissed him and stopped his salary. The only thing left is that whenever we apprehend him, we will arraign him in court.

“The man and the lady were returning from a club when they said the car they were in hit an inspector. Ojo left his duty post and chased the car on a motorcycle,” - said the Police Public Relations Officer.

 He further added that investigation carried out on the matter absolved the others, as it was clear that Ojo was the only one guilty of professional misconduct.
