A Lagos state high court sitting in Ikeja has sentenced a dismissed police officer, Ogunyemi Olalekan, to life imprisonment for killing Kolade Johnson, 35.

Olalekan shot Mr. Johnson in the lower abdomen with an AK-47 rifle at about 5.10 p.m on Sunday, March 31, 2019, at a viewing centre in the Mangoro area of Lagos.

He was shot while watching a televised match between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Olalekan was said to be part of the Special Anti-Cultism Squad (SACS) of the Nigeria Police.

As a result of the investigation, police identified Olalekan and Godwin Orji as the officers responsible for the shooting.

Following an orderly trial, Olalekan was dismissed from the force while Orji was acquitted. Olalekan was subsequently arraigned before the court for the extrajudicial killing of Johnson.
