Court remands police inspector charged with murdering Kolade Johnson - Premium Times NigeriaThe policeman committed the offence on March 31, at 5.10p.m., at Onipetesi Estate, Idi-Mangoro, Lagos. That motion on which he shot will forever remain in his heart till death! It's a pity he ended up dis way! The governor elect of Lagos should assure Nigerians that he will sign the death warrant of the killers of Kolade Johnson if they are convicted by the Court, this assurance will make those who may be considering jungle justice, to jettison the idea. Sanwolu should speak out. The police inspector must be charged to face the full wrath of the law. There is no excuse whatsoever to open fire at unarmed civilian.
