Policeman Who Shot Opeyemi Bamidele Dismissed
The culprit opened fire at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat during the welcome rally held for the governorship flag bearer, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
Bamidele and five other injured party members were hospitalized. But, the former federal lawmaker has been relocated to Lagos for post-surgery treatment.
The officer was battered by angry party members who smashed his head, inflicted injuries on him and dispossessed him of his service rifle.
Ekiti State Commissioner of Police Mr. Bello Ahmed, disclosed that the mobile policeman has been dismissed from service to pave the way for his trial in court as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.
The police boss who spoke on a live programme on Channels Television said that the politician who brought the policeman to Ekiti State from his Lagos base has been detained and he is being grilled by interrogators.
Ahmed said the politician will also be arraigned in court as soon as the Police conclude their investigation into the shooting incident.
