Several sources have accused a policeman attached to Owode Police Station in the Ogbomosho area of Oyo State, Nigeria, of killing two brothers on Monday evening.
The officer, identified as Saheed Rasheed, fatally shot a young man who was at Reeplay Club in Ogbomosho to celebrate his brother’s graduation from Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), eyewitnesses told FIJ.
They said people had gathered at the club to celebrate when a fight broke out. Saheed and other policemen arrived at the scene to restore sanity but he began shooting sporadically. One of Saheed’s shots hit the young man’s head and caused instant death.
“Saheed realised he had killed someone and tried to get away,” a source told FIJ. “Then the brother of the slain boy walked up to him, but Saheed shot him, too. This boy just had his convocation earlier, but Saheed killed him, too. Two brothers of the same mother were killed just like that.”
