 Lagos State Commissioner Of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu , has vowed to track down , apprehend and prosecute killers of murdered Senior Police Officer, CSP  Kazeem Sumonu Abonde , who was attacked during police raid on criminal hideouts in Lagos .

Late Abonde , whose retirement from the Police Force is due in few months time,  was described by the  command as one of the finest officers. He lost his life during a raid on criminal hideouts in Ajao Estate, Lagos State on 23rd September, 2021.
The incident was said to have happened when tactical teams of the Command comprising men drawn from RRS, Taskforce, Ajao Estate Division and other divisions were carrying out raid of identified flashpoints and enforcing the ban on use of motorcycles in restricted areas in the Estate and similar places in the State.

According to the Command Spokesman, Mr. Adekunle Ajisebutu , a Chief Superintendent of Police,  CSP, the  exercise was a routine proactive approach aimed at curtailing activities of armed robbers and other criminal elements in the State.                   

“Similar exercises were carried out in the past in other parts of the state which have resulted in reduction in crimes in the areas.”
 

CSP Ajisebutu stated that trouble started after “the successful operations which led to the arrest of some of the suspects, other criminal elements and hoodlums in their large number laid siege to the exit of the Estate and attacked the policemen with guns, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons.” 

Unfortunately, during the fatal attack, CSP Kazeem Sumonu Abonde attached to the Operations Department( B Ops)of the Command was brutally killed by the hoodlums.                                                                                                                                                 

It was learnt that DPO Ajao Estate, CSP Abdullahi Malla and other Police officers equally sustained varying degrees of injuries.                                                                                                         

The Deceased corpse , Ajisebutu stated, has been deposited at the Yaba Mainland Hospital for autopsy.

 CP  Odumosu while condemning the attack on the policemen who were carrying out legitimate duty at the time, has directed that a discreet investigation into the incident should be carried out immediately.                                                                                       

 Odumosu , therefore vowed to ensure that all suspects responsible for the dastardly act would be brought to book soon.
He further assured  that this mournful incident would not dampen the morale of the Command or discourage it from carrying out its statutory duties of protecting lives and property of the Citizens in Lagos State.
