A Facebook user identified as Halima Sadia, has revealed how a man
was allegedly killed by Police officers at a checkpoint on his way to
Zamfara state.
Another social media user, Hassan Sidi, disclosed that the man was
driving a hilux van conveying rice when he approached customs officials
at a checkpoint who allegedly requested a bribe from him.
Multiple online reports claim that the driver and father of three
children offered to give the customs agents N1000 but they declined and
asked him to add extra N500, which he reportedly ignored and then drove
away.
It was gathered that the customs officials were said to have
notified the police who were some meters away, that a criminal with a
stolen vehicle was approaching them.
On sighting the said vehicle, the police operatives at their
checkpoint opened fire on him. He reportedly lost control and crashed
the vehicle. As he came out alive to explain he's not a thief, the
policemen were said to have shot at him again killing him in the
process.
