There was pandemonium recently
in the Iyana Ishashi end of the
Lagos-Badagry Expressway after a
team of policemen engaged some
tricycle and motorcycle riders in a
fight over N500 “security fee”.

Police Inspector Wahab was said to
have shot a motorcycle rider,
identified as Biliaminu, aka
Bouncing.

Due to the impact of the bullet,
Biliaminu was said to have been
rushed to a private hospital in the
state where he had been placed
under intensive care.

To avoid more troubles, the four
policemen, who were attached to
the highway patrol team in the
Idimu Police Division, reportedly
surrendered themselves to the
nearest police station in the area.

It was learnt that the suspects were
later transferred to the state
command headquarters and
detained.

Sources say it was not the first time
that they would go to the Iyana
Ishashi bus stop on illegal duty.

A motorcycle rider, Bidemi Ayeni,
said the policemen’s greed caused
the incident.

A resident, who did not identify
himself, said it was like a “war
film”.

“There was shooting everywhere.
We didn’t even know that
Biliaminu had been hit by a bullet.

It was after the dust had settled
that we saw him in a pool of blood.

“The policeman that shot him
actually pursued him and when he
could not catch up with him, he
shot him in the back.

“One of his ears was also seriously
affected because he landed on an
object. He was rushed to a hospital
around here.”

The Police Public Relations Officer,
SP Dolapo Badmos, said the police
are investigating the case.
