A policeman, Stephen James, on Saturday shot dead three male
customers at a hotel in the Ketu area of Lagos State. Among the deceased were
twin brothers identified as Taiwo and Kehinde Oyesunle, who were the only
children of their parents, and their friend known simply as Jeje.
The tragic incident; which happened outside the premises of
Paulson Hotel on Anibaba Street around 4:20pm, 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 customers if they 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.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Joe Offor,
confirmed the killings.
