President Muhammadu Buhari has condemned the action of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) operatives from the Lagos State Police Command, which led to the untimely death of Mr. Kolade Johnson.
Kolade was shot dead by a SARS operative while he was watching a Premier League fixture between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in Lagos on Sunday.
In a statement by the Special Adviser on Media and publicity, Femi Adesina, the President commiserated deeply with the family of the deceased.
He acknowledged the genuine outrage regarding the activities of SARS and reassures the public that swift actions have already been taken.
Buhari noted that the suspects are in custody and an orderly room trial is set to commence immediately, following which indicted officers will be prosecuted in court.
