Aondona, a motorcycle operator, was alleged to have refused to stop when he was accosted by the policemen who were said to be on patrol at about 11am on the fateful day. “They opened fire on him and shot him. And even when he fell down, they still continued to shoot. . . Initially, they wanted to abandon the corpse, but the owner of the house near where he was killed insisted that they must carry the corpse away. They picked his corpse and put it behind their patrol vehicle and covered it with tyres. They drove to the beach and buried him. . .

We were the ones who alerted the family that their brother had been killed and buried,” an eyewitness disclosed. Aondona’s elder sister, Linda, said: The DPO later called me and requested that they would pay us N10 million to end the matter. They said we should go home and think about it and get back to them.” . . As soon as the Commissioner of Police for Lagos State got wind of the incident, he ordered an immediate arrest of the suspected policemen. 6 are currently at large while 5 have been arrested..
