The Lagos State Police Command said it has identified the police officer who shot a young man, Toheeb Eniafe, at a petrol station on Wednesday.
This was made known in a statement by the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin on Thursday.

“Investigation is still ongoing and further findings will be made available.
