UPDATE on "SARS officer shoots LASTMA official dead."
The Inspector that allegedly shot dead Late Rotimi Adeyemo 'm' at Iyana-Ipaja Roundabout, Lagos at 6pm of 28.11.2018 was beaten to stupor by irate mob at the scene.
This policeman also died while being rushed to the hospital.— Abayomi Shogunle (@YomiShogunle) November 29, 2018
LASTMA is under Lagos State Govt, so i expect the governor to handle this. The culprit should also be killed by firing squad and they should broadcast it live on TV. This is what can make this useless people to change. Other LASTMA officers should rise up to take this up

Apparently, SARS shot and killed a LASTMA official yesterday. Maybe the state govt and Ambode will finally do the needful now. That's close to home.

@followlastma This is a terrible loss!
Is LASTMA simply going to announce "We are simply saddened…" Who is going to get Justice for Adeyemo?@ProfOsinbajo come & see something.@MBuhari @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_lagos https://t.co/9sEDj6lmle— Billy Shoaga (@billyspecs) November 29, 2018

I know this man, I see him weekly. This story is so sad because this man is one of the hardworking Lastma officials that I have seen. Glad guys dealt with that useless SARS official and my joy will be complete if he gets his deserved judgement.
RIP Mr. Adeyemo. https://t.co/LUvdyfkUoA
