The Ogun State Police Command have arrested two security guards for allegedly shooting a man in his right eye.
The police spokesperson in the state, SP Omolola Odutola, in a statement on Tuesday said the incident happened on Saturday, September 2, at Sango/Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota LGA of the state.
According to her, the unfortunate incident happened when a case of attempted m¥rder was reported in Sango-Ota.
She explained that one Abiodun Fatai reported that his younger brother, Ramon Rasaq was involved in an altercation with security men on their street.
Fatai said a quarrel ensued when Rasaq opened the gate himself as the two security men, Michael Adelayo and Ganiyu Saka, were not at their security post at the time his brother (Rasaq) got to gate, making his way into the street.
This led to a quarrel, and during the ensuing scuffle, one of the security men, Saka sh%t Rasaq in the eye.
“Following the incident, the victim was rushed to a traditional healer who successfully removed seven pellets from his right eye.
The CSP Saleh Dahiru, the Divisional Police Officer(DPO), Sango Ota, provided the necessary medical forms for Rasaq to be transferred to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.
At the hospital, he received immediate medical attention to stabilise his condition, but unfortunately he lost his right eye. The doctor on duty assured that Rasaq was currently responding positively to treatment,” said Odutola.
