For reportedly interfering while a Nigerian Police officer was
allegedly arguing with an Okada rider over N50 bribe, a motorcyclist
(Okada rider) identified only as Friday, was on Monday, shot and killed
by a police operative on duty along Aliade-Awajir road in Benue state.
According to an exclusive report by Idoma Voice,
the deceased, who came to the scene to maintain peace, got more than he
bargained for as the officer reportedly got angry, pulled the trigger
and shot him on the forehead and he died on the spot.
It was gathered that the tragic incident sparked violence in the
area as youths of the community threatened to set the police station
where the officer is attached to on fire.
The Benue State Police PPRO, Moses Yamu, however said the command was yet to receive the report. “We have not gotten the report. I will find out and get back to you,” he said.
