The witness revealed: “When they stopped him, they demanded for their usual N50 but he gave them N20 and wanted to drive off when one of them opened fire on him. The bullet shattered his head and he died instantly.”
Consequently, there was confusion on the road as neighbouring residents gathered, attempting to attack the officers. The enraged residents also used tyres to set burn fires on the road.
The witness, however, said that the arrival of a fresh detachment of policemen to the scene took over the situation, using teargas to dispel the crowd and shooting into the air to set them to their heels.
Umahi promised residents in the area the a collaborative effort with security agencies in ensuring that the suspect is brought to book, although the police spokesperson in the state, Loveth Odah, has not given any report on the development.
