Unidentified gunmen on Sunday morning shot Corporal Michael
Olujimi, a policeman attached to the Okitipupa Police Division in Ondo
State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the policeman, who
was still battling for his life, was found in a pool of blood around
5:30 a.m, gasping for breath, before he was rushed to an undisclosed
hospital in the town.
NAN also gathered that the policeman left his home early to resume
duty but the gunmen opened fire on him and took off immediately.
One of the sympathisers, who preferred anonymity, told NAN that the
gunmen mistook the policeman for someone else and opened fire on him.
“He was going to the station to resume duty this morning when
the incident happened. We met him in a pool of blood and we quickly
called the station.
“He is not dead yet as he was gasping for breath when they rushed him to an undisclosed hospital.
“Armed robbers have invaded this town now and I think the police should step up strategies to bring these culprits to book,” the sympathiser said.
The Okitipupa Divisional Police Officer, DSP Oluwole Ojo, when
contacted on telephone, said that he could not comment on the matter as
he had not been adequately briefed.
“I cannot comment on the matter now, thank you,” he said.
