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.

He said the act did not portray the Nigeria Police Standard Operating Procedure and core values.

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.

Mr Baba urged police officers to continuously operate within the ambit of the law, adding that the force leadership would not condone any inappropriate or unprofessional acts.
