The Lagos State Police Command has begun the orderly room trial the four police officers who shot at peaceful protesters in Area C Police Command in the Surulere area of the state.

The four cops are Inspector Bagou Michael, Inspector Ekpoudom Etop, Sergeant Nnamdi Majura, and Sergeant Akinyemi Benson.

The action of the police officers was responsible for the death of 55-year-old Ikechukwu Iloamauzor.

Protesters on Friday night held a candle light procession for the deceased victim and scores of others killed by operatives of the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Nigeria Police Force.

In an update given on Saturday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the death of Iloamauzor and others called for “very sober reflections”.

Sanwo-Olu tweeted; “I have seen powerful images and videos of the #CandleForSARSVictims vigils held across the country. It calls for very sober reflections.

“Yesterday, the orderly room trial of the police officers involved in the Surulere incident began.

“Some of the victims attended and will testify before the panel next week. Justice will be served. Thank you to the team actively following up and helping victims.

“There is so much more to be done and I will keep sharing the actions we are taking in line with my announcements”.
