Ikorodu Murder: Police seek information on residents living in isolated areas

The Lagos State Police command has called on the Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Community Development Association (CDA) Chairman and traditional rulers to report to the police residents who are living in isolated areas which are no longer safe so as to stop people from dwelling in insecure areas without proper social structures.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole made this call in a press release he issued in Lagos on Sunday in reaction to a murder incident reported in the early hours of Sunday 30th July, 2017 where police operatives of the Lagos state command responded to a distress call at Oke Ota, Ibeshe, Ikorodu area of Lagos state.

Famous-Cole stated that on mobilizing to the scene, the police operatives found it extremely difficult to locate the house which was situated in a thick forest where it was remotely impossible for anybody to identify a dwelling house in the area.

“Eventually arriving at the scene on foot, the house where a family of five was attacked, which is just a room and parlour with one open window and no visible form of security, it was reported that 3 died on the spot, 1 died while receiving treatment at the hospital and the last member is alive and responding to treatment.

“As investigation commenced, no visible trace of violence or clues linked to the cultist group was found. No stone was found at the scene. A case of murder is being investigated by police detectives, which doesn’t fit in the modus operandi of the cult group.

“The Lagos state police command is using this opportunity to call on LCDA, CDA Chairman, traditional rulers who may be aware of residents staying in isolated areas which are no longer safe to report/identify with the police in order to stop people from dwelling in insecure areas without proper social structures”, he said.

He however called on the members of the public to come forward with useful information to aid the police and not resort to jungle justice while investigation was ongoing in order not to jeopardise the investigation that may lead to the arrest of the alleged suspects who he said were on the command’s watch list.
