Prison warder kills taxi
driver, injures 4 others on september 04, 2013 at 9:43 pm
in news PORT HARCOURT — A taxi driver
was shot dead by a trigger-happy
prison warder in Port Harcourt,
Wednesday. Four other persons were also hit,
including a pastor. The shooting happened at Woji,
with the warder claiming that the
fatal shot, was ‘an accidental
discharge’. Witnesses said the driver
conveying some prison officials
drove recklessly against the
traffic on Woji Road in Obio-Akpor
Local Government Area. Not minding the rights of the law
compliant drivers on the road, the
driver of the prison vehicle
ordered a taxi driver to give way
for his vehicle. “As the taxi tried to reverse to
pave the way for the prison
warders, one of the armed Prison
warders came down from the
vehicle. “With his hand still on the
trigger, perhaps forgetting that
he had already cocked the gun, he
pointed the nozzle at the driver.
All we heard were gunshots. The
driver died on the spot. Two others were seriously injured.
They may not survive.” Angela Agabe, the spokesperson
of the Rivers State Police
Command confirmed the incident
but said only the driver, one
Ebere Emmanuel, died, while
Nathaniel Ibinabo, a Pastor who sustained bullet wounds has been
admitted in the hospital. She further said that a Police man
on patrol who was attracted to
the scene disarmed the Warder.
He was immediately arrested and
taken to the state Criminal
Investigation Department, CID, of the Rivers State Police Command. Agabe said that on interrogation,
the Prison Warder claimed that as
he ordered the Taxi driver to get
out of the way, he refused and
pointing the nozzle at the Driver,
he forgot that his fingers were on the trigger and it fired at the
driver and passengers by
“accidental discharge”. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/prison-warder-kills-taxi-driver-injures-4-others/
