Naval officers kill policeman

On Saturday at the Satellite Town area of Lagos State night four personnel of the Nigerian Navy (NN) allegedly stabbed an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Abion Hezikel to death.

Personnel attached to the Central Pay Office, Apapa also injured three civilians who tried to broker peace between them and the policemen.

Trouble was said to have started around 8pm after a police team on traffic patrol around Oluti stopped four men on two motorcycles for flouting the state Traffic Laws.

Unknown to the policemen, the men were personnel of the navy on mufti who failed to identify themselves so they could be allowed to go.

A bus driver, who witnessed the incident, said the naval operatives stabbed the ASP on the chest after an argument between them.
