Police Inspector Shoots Motorcyclist Over N500 Bribe

There was pandemonium recently in the Iyana Ishashi end of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway after a team of policemen engaged some tricycle and motorcycle riders in a fight over N500 “security fee”.


Police Inspector Wahab was said to have shot a motorcycle rider, identified as Biliaminu, aka Bouncing.

Due to the impact of the bullet, Biliaminu was said to have been rushed to a private hospital in the state where he had been placed under intensive care.

To avoid more troubles, the four policemen, who were attached to the highway patrol team in the Idimu Police Division, reportedly surrendered themselves to the nearest police station in the area.

It was learnt that the suspects were later transferred to the state command headquarters and detained.

Sources say it was not the first time that they would go to the Iyana Ishashi bus stop on illegal duty.

A motorcycle rider, Bidemi Ayeni, said the policemen’s greed caused the incident.

A resident, who did not identify himself, said it was like a “war film”.

“There was shooting everywhere. We didn’t even know that Biliaminu had been hit by a bullet. It was after the dust had settled that we saw him in a pool of blood.

“The policeman that shot him actually pursued him and when he could not catch up with him, he shot him in the back.

“One of his ears was also seriously affected because he landed on an object. He was rushed to a hospital around here.”

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the police are investigating the case.
