Inspector-General of Police Usman Baba has condemned the killing of a legal practitioner, Omobolanle Raheem, by a police officer.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

He said the deceased was allegedly shot and killed by a policeman attached to Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah, Lagos State.

The IGP described the incident as unfortunate and ordered a speedy investigation and prosecution of the officers responsible for the shooting.

Mr Baba commiserated with the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased and prayed for the repose of her soul.

He pledged to ensure that justice prevailed in the case and warned officers and men of the force to be professional and people-oriented in discharging their duties.
