Security guards shoot man 7 times for opening gate without consent

 

Two security guards have been arrested by the police in Ogun State after they shot a man in his right eye.

According to reports, the victim, Ramon Rasaq, has suffered partial blindness as a result of the shooting and seven pellets were later extracted from his eye by a traditional healer.

The police have classified the case as “attempted murder.”

Narrating the incident, one Abiodun Fatai told the police in Sango that his younger brother was involved in a heated altercation with the security because he “opened the gate himself as the two security men, Michael Adelayo and Ganiyu Saka, were not on guard at their security post at the time he got to the gate.

Rasaq’s action, making his way into the street, was said to have angered the security guards.

“This led to a quarrel, and during the escalating scuffle, one of the security men, Ganiyu Saka shot Ramon Rasaq in his eyes.”

CSP Saleh Dahiru, the Divisional Police Officer of Sango Ota, had provided the necessary medical forms for Ramon to be transferred to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

“At the hospital, he received immediate medical attention to stabilise his condition. Although he unfortunately lost his right eye, the doctor on duty assured that Ramon is currently responding positively to treatment,” a police statement said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Alamutu, has directed the transfer of the suspects to State CID for further investigation and possible prosecution.
