A police Corporal, Mr Emmanuel Okoye, attached to the Ifako Police Station in Lagos, has allegedly kidnapped a 17-year-old girl, Patience Isabor, from her residence in Bariga, Lagos.
Sources said that the incident happened on February 10, when Okoye allegedly entered Patience's home after shooting her elder sister Blessing in the cheek and hand.
Blessing, 19, is currently critically ill at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, after undergoing series of surgeries to remove bullets from her body.
According to sources, Okoye has been dating Blessing and later dropped her to settle with Patience.
The mother of the girls, Mrs Isabor, opposed the relationship of her two daughters with the police officer.
Lagos State Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO), Mr Joseph Jaiyeoba, who confirmed the incident, told NAN that the police command was looking for Okoye.
Jaiyeoba said that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Yakubu Alkali, has ordered a thorough investigation into the case.
"The CP is aware of the case. We are not declaring Emmanuel wanted yet, we are still looking for him until the appropriate time we will declare him a deserter," Jaiyeoba said.
