Armed men at the weekend killed an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and injured other cops during an attack on their checkpoint at Ikorodu.
The attackers also fled with two service rifles belonging to the policemen said to have stationed at a pin down point at Enuren junction, Itokin, along the Ikorodu-Abeokuta expressway.
It was gathered that the incident occurred on Friday night, barely 48 hours after gunmen killed three residents of Gowon Estate in Ipaja and less than 24 hours three riot policemen were murdered at a checkpoint in Edo State.
Sources told The Nation that the attack was suspected to have been executed by cultists, said to have been on rampage in parts of Lagos lately.
