A policeman at the Michika divisional headquarters
of the Adamawa State Police Command was on
Tuesday shot dead after shooting two of his
colleagues.
The two injured policemen are now receiving treatment in a
hospital.
A witness told the News Agency of Nigeria in Michika that
the incident occurred around 7am on Tuesday when the
policeman, identified as Abba Gana, opened fire on his
colleagues.
Confirming the incident to NAN, the command's
spokesperson, spokesman, Muhammed Ibrahim, said an
inspector and a constable were shot in the incident.
He explained that the policeman, who resisted arrest, had
been shot dead with the assistance of men of the Adamawa
special anti- robbery patrol, "Operation Tsaro."
He said, "It was an unfortunate incident. This morning, one
of our policemen who signed for a rifle for duty, turned
around and opened fire on his colleagues who are now
receiving treatment in the hospital."
Ibrahim also confirmed the attack by suspected gunmen on
Mugulvu police outpost in Mubi South Local Government
Area of the state on Monday.
He said the men, who attacked the outpost using
explosives, were repelled by the police, who succeeded in
killing one of them.
Four months ago, a policeman at the Police Divisional
Headquarters in Gombi Local Government Area of the state
also went berserk, shooting three of his colleagues dead
before killing himself.source www.naij.com
