The shooting to death of a legal practitioner, Mrs Omobolanle Raheem by a police officer, was on Monday condemned by the Inspector-General of Police (I-G-P), Mr Usman Baba.
CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, adding that 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 sad, ordering speedy investigation and prosecution of the officers responsible for the ugly and unprofessional act.
He said the act did not portray the Nigeria Police Standard Operating Procedure and core values.
Baba commiserated with the family, friends, and colleagues of the deceased and prayed for the repose of her soul, just as he pledged to ensure that justice prevailed in the case.
He warned officers and men of the Force to be professional and people-oriented in the discharge of their duties, urging them to always operate within the ambit of the law.
He added that the Force leadership would not condone any inappropriate or unprofessional acts.
