Policemen Killed Tanker Driver Over ₦50 Bribe

The Bauchi State Police Command has detained three policemen over the death of a tanker driver in Ningi Local Government Area of the state.

DailyTrust reports that the deceased was allegedly shot to death by one of the three policemen because he gave the cops ₦20, instead of the ₦50, they demanded for.

Two witnesses, Alhaji Sani Uba Ningi and Mallam Aminu, said when the driver refused to give the policemen the ₦50, they pursued him to Guduba village which is about four kilometers away from Ningi, where one of the policeman shot him death.

They said some angry mob attempted to kill the accused policemen, but that they were saved by passersby, who later handed them over to the Area Commander.
