A yet-to-be identified police officer has di£d during a clash between some men of the Oyo State Police Command and some hoodlums in the Moniya area, Ibadan on Tuesday.
The deceased cop was said to have been sh%t d£ad during the scuffle. An eyewitness reports: “So, on Tuesday morning, the police were on their regular routine and they stopped a Lexus 350 suspected to be owned by yahoo boys along Iseyin – Ibadan road but the driver of the car didn’t halt.
They chased him with an unmarked green Micra vehicle until he got to Moniya market/garage close to the police station and they started arguing so during the argument, some bike-men interfered and a policeman sh%t his g¥n at them but unexpectedly it was another policeman the b¥llet hit.
That was how chaos ensued, the alleged yahoo boys ran away and the police called for backup. So, they started sh%%ting sporadically, during which an old man was h¥t by a stray b¥llet but he later di£d after the hospitals around Moniya rejected him because of the unavailability of a police report.”
However, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the incident in a statement. He said seven suspects were arrested in connection with the matter while the corpse of the deceased policeman had been deposited at a morgue for post-mortem.
