Police ‘kill driver and bus conductor’ over N500 bribe
Some Policemen have been accused of killing a driver and his conductor on the Jalingo-Wukari Road in Taraba.
The incident reportedly occurred around 6pm on Sunday, at a regular police checkpoint in the area.
Apparently, the trailer driver and his assistant reportedly
refused to part with a N500 bribe demanded by the policemen at the
checkpoint.
Consequently, they were shot dead in the process.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Kwaji Joseph, however, denied that the police killed anyone.
He said: “On Sunday at about 6.45pm, our patrol team that was on
stop-and-search intercepted a trailer coming from Jalingo and heading
towards Wukari.
“As you know, the police have the power to check and interrogate to know where they were coming from and where they were going.
“That particular area has been in crisis for some time now.
“But the trailer driver and his passengers, numbering about 50, came
down from the trailer and attacked our policemen. They said the
President (Mummamadu Buhari) had ordered a ban on checkpoints.
“In the process, they killed one of our policemen, Corporal Sunday Ate, and stole his AK-47 and 50 rounds of ammunition.”
