A policeman identified as Inspector Collins Wilson allegedly killed three people in an attempt to cover up a theft committed by his girlfriend, known only as Esther.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on Monday, August 26th, when Esther was accused of stealing a phone from a tricycle driver who had been transporting her.<\/p>\n
According to eyewitnesses, the theft was discovered when the stolen phone rang while in Esther’s possession, leading to a confrontation between her and bystanders.<\/p>\n
As tensions escalated, Esther called her boyfriend, Inspector Wilson, to the scene for assistance.<\/p>\n
Upon arriving, Inspector Wilson drew his service weapon and ordered Esther to stand behind him. He then opened fire at close range, killing two individuals instantly.<\/p>\n
The victims included the tricycle driver and a bystander who was attempting to defuse the situation.<\/p>\n
A third victim, a motorcyclist who had brought Inspector Wilson to the scene, was critically injured.<\/p>\n
He was initially taken to Garki Hospital but was reportedly rejected. He later died at the National Hospital, where he could not receive proper care due to a doctors’ strike.<\/p>\n
After the shooting, Inspector Wilson fled the scene with Esther, commandeering another tricycle and later switching to a motorcycle to avoid detection.<\/p>\n
However, the motorcyclist who transported Wilson back to his post directed angry residents to his location.<\/p>\n
The residents quickly mobilized and apprehended Inspector Wilson and Esther at the estate where he was stationed. The violent cop and his girlfriend were handed over to the police.<\/p>\n
The authorities have yet to issue an official statement on the incident, but residents reportedly brought the bodies of two victims to the police command on Tuesday, demanding justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
