CITIZENS COMPASS –The Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, has disclosed the arrest of two officers of the Lagos State Taskforce who allegedly carried out an illegal raid which led to the death of a civilian in the State.
He said the raid which later turned bloody was carried out on Wednesday.

He explained that the officers were conducting an illegal duty and had taken civilians along with them.
The situation, however, escalated when the group came under attack by motorcycle riders, which resulted in the death of one of the civilians.
