FROM PAUL ORUDE, BAUCHI

A policeman has shot dead a woman in Tura, a suburb of Bauchi State, throwing residents into deep mourning. The tragedy occurred at the weekend at about 1pm.

The deceased who is said to be in her mid-30s, was reported to be the girlfriend of the trigger happy policeman.

Trouble started for the deceased, Jamila Rahama, when the policeman, simply called Abdul (aka Barrister) stormed a house in Tura after he received a report that his best friend was sleeping with her there.

He was said to be infuriated following rumours that his lover usually had a rendezvous with his friend.

An eyewitness who does not want his name in print, said the policeman was bitter with the development, he stormed the house. He reportedly shot and killed her instantly.

“After killing her, he left the house. He was later arrested by the police,” he said.

The landlord of the house was initially arrested, but released on bail after nothing incriminating was found on him in connection with Rahama’s death.

“He heard news that she was sleeping with his friend. She had a child for the policeman and he really loved her, but maybe things fell apart between them and she started dating someone and that provoked him,” another source said.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State command, Mr Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident to newsmen in his office yesterday.

Mohammed, a Deputy Superintendent, declined to give further details, saying the command was investigating the incident.
