The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Kayode Aderanti, on Tuesday revealed that there was little or no information available to catch the hit and run driver who killed the Vice Chairman of The Sun Publishing Limited, Pastor Dimgba Igwe.
Igwe was killed two weeks ago by a hit-and-run driver, while jogging around his Okota home in Lagos.
Fielding questions from journalists on how far the police have gone in fishing out the killer of the late Igwe, Aderanti said that although there was scanty information in the ongoing investigation, he would want members of the public to assist the police by availing any information to catch the driver.
This was even as he said that he hoped the driver that killed the late journalist would have sleepless night over his deed and come forward to the police to confess his crime.
He also advocated for the installing of Close Circuit Cameras (CCTV) in homes and streets, which he argued would help a great deal in solving crime in a metropolitan city like Lagos.
His words: “We enjoin members of the public to assist us with information. We want to know the colour and type of car that hit and killed Dimgba Igwe. Information is very scanty. We need CCTV in our environs. Private individuals should begin to imbibe culture of installing CCTV in their homes.
“With CCTV, this crime would have been solved long ago. In Lagos Island, a hit and run driver, reported himself to us. He said he was so disturbed that he couldn’t sleep. This is what we want from the driver who killed Igwe. He should report himself or he would not be able to sleep.”
