Lol awoof dey purge belle. Three
policemen were, yesterday,
sentenced to two years
imprisonment by Magistrate A. Demi-
Ajayi of an Ebute-Metta Magistrate’s
Court, sitting at Oyingbo, Lagos, over
negligence, which resulted in the
stealing of their AK-47.
The convicts are Sergeant Felix Okwa,
47; Corporal Ogu Romanus, 46, and
Constable Sunday Okoh, 34. Apart
from being jailed for two years, they
will also serve a six-month
community service after completing
their jail term.
The three cops who were attached to
Ishashi Police Division of Lagos State
Police Command, were said to be on
patrol on December 12 at 11.30p.m.,
when they received a call from an
unknown guest, named Kezzy, who
invited them for supper at Regional
Hotel, also in Ishashi, claiming he
wanted to reward them for a job
they did for him.
The unknown guest was said to have
fed them with food laced with drugs,
after which they slept off and their
weapons, three AK-47 rifles and 90
live ammunition were stolen.
The hotel manager reported the
matter at the Ishashi Police Station
after which the unconscious
policemen were arrested and later
charged to court.
The cops were first arraigned on
January 19, 2011, on a two count
charge bordering on conspiracy and
stealing
