A mobile police officer shot a yet-to-be-identified woman in the mouth at Salvation bus-stop, Opebi area on Thursday.

In a video shared by a Twitter user @abba_kanselem, the bullet went through the young woman’s mouth, tearing her cheeks.

The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital by passersby and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA).

Speaking on the matter, the police spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the police were gathering information that will aid proper investigation.

Mr Adejobi said the policeman has been identified, but he was not in the Lagos command, although he works in Lagos State.
