A police Inspector simply identified as Gabriel who sustained serious
gun shot following a shoot-out with
some robbers at the Amukoko area in
Lagos over the weekend, has vowed to go after armed robbers again when
he resumes work. Gabriel who is attached to the Police Mobile Squadron
22, made the pledge at the hospital bed of Lagos State General Hospital,
Marina where he is being treated for his gunshot wound.
“It was about 9:30a.m. on Thursday and we were inside the bank premises
at the Coker branch doing our job. Suddenly, we heard people shouting
that armed robbers were coming and we came out with our rifles and took
cover, waiting for the armed robbers. When they got to the front of the
bank, they opened fire and we retaliated. Then I took cover under the
vehicle. It was there the bullet hit my right leg and hand. Immediately
the bullet hit me, I felt weak as I was bleeding. I called my colleagues
to help me and I was taken to the Mainland General Hospital. At the
hospital, the chief security officer of the bank came to see me. The
bank has promised to take care of my hospital bills.”he told Guardian.
Despite the gunshot wounds, Gabriel says he is not deterred and will still go after robbers if the need arises again.
“I am not deterred. I have signed for this police work. I will still face robbers again if the opportunity arises,” he said
