The policemen were serving on the Special Protection Unit of the police force and were attached to Dr. Femi Thomas, a former executive secretary of the National Health Insurance Scheme. The Punch reports that on Tuesday, December 13, DSS officers stormed the house of Thomas to invite him to their office.
It was reported that when the two officers followed the former executive secretary to the DSS office, the DSS operatives complained that they were armed.
A source said: “Nobody knew what transpired afterwards, but suddenly there were sounds of gunshots and soon after, the two policemen were lying in a pool of blood. The policemen did not quarrel with them, so I don’t know what happened. Malik was shot thrice in the stomach. It was a real mess.”
Tergwu was rushed to the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital while Malik passed away immediately.
Mr. Alberto Adeyemi, the spokesperson of the state police command said investigation was going on to determine what transpired.
“We have already sent out SITREP to the Force headquarters in Abuja. As soon as we heard, the Deputy Commissioner of Police on ground, and the AC OPS went to the DSS office. They confirmed that two policemen were shot on the premises of the DSS. One died, while the other one is still receiving treatment. We have told the DSS to hand over the officers responsible for the shooting to the police. ”
