The girl according to reports died as a result of the shooting while the young man suspected to be her boyfriend is currently battling for his life due to the grievous injury he sustained due to the shooting.
Punch reports that Operatives from the Trinity Police Station in Ajegunle, Lagos, were alleged to be responsible for the attacks.
The lovers and a friend had gone to Club J5 in Olodi Apapa, on Friday, and were returning around 6:30a.m on Saturday, when they were accosted by some policemen who were on a bike.

Jessica was shot twice in the belly and once on the lap, while her boyfriend was shot at the back of his head, but their friend was unhurt.
The officers were later identified by some eyewitnesses and the DPO of Trinity Police Station confirmed that they have been transferred to the headquarters in Ikeja for interrogation.
