The Lagos State Police Command is yet to
discover the whereabouts of one of its
officers who allegedly kidnapped a 17-year-
old girl after shooting her sister.
Corporal Emmanuel Okoye, attached to the
Ifako Police Station at Bariga, kidnapped
Patience Isabor on February 10, after he
shot her elder sister, Blessing, in the cheek
and hands.
Blessing 19, is receiving attention at the
Lagos State University Teaching Hospital
(LASUTH), Ikeja, after undergoing series of
surgery to remove the bullets from her body.
According to neighbours, Blessing and
Patience were dating Okoye. It was
gathered that the police officer had initially
been involved with Blessing, but fell in love
when he met Patience. He, thereafter broke
up with Blessing and proposed to her
younger sister.
"Corporal Emmanuel was dating Blessing the
elder sister and their relationship had
blossomed over the years but towards the
end of last year, he dumped Blessing and
started dating Patience," said a neighbour
who did not want his name published.
"Their mother was against the relationship
but Patience and Corporal Emmanuel
continued their love until last month when
he came to meet her mother that she should
allow him marry Patience. Mrs Isabor
objected because she wants Patience to
continue her education and she does not
trust Corporal Emmanuel as he had
disappointed her first daughter in the past."
Infuriated with the development, the police
officer was said to have barged into the
Isabors' house on February 10, around 7pm,
kidnapped Patience and shot Blessing when
she tried to stop him. Since then, nobody
has seen them.
