Official: Drunk Nigeria Police Kill 3 At Funeral by lovejo(m): 12:49pm On Sep 12, 2011 |
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Authorities say four drunk officers with Nigeria's federal police force opened fire on a funeral service they were assigned to guard, killing at least three mourners. The shooting took place this weekend in the village of Akoko in Nigeria's Delta state. Delta state police spokesman Charles Muka said Monday that the officers opened fire for no reason after drinking heavily. Muka said the four officers were being held pending the filing of criminal charges over the shooting. Nigeria's federal police remain incapable of stopping ethnic and religious violence sweeping the oil-rich nation. Critics say its officers instead shake down motorists for bribes and make sham arrests to demand bail money from families. Many officers serve as personal orderlies to the country's elite. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hBCcpyJQ7JkgCgH9R77IBLQAwUAQ?docId=8dd1d6f8eef94ce8b5c806c616497fb0 |
