YENAGOA—A mobile policeman in
Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, has shot a 34-
year-old indigene of Bauchi State,
Adamu Mohammed, over an
argument on N2,000 unpaid fees for
a menial job.
According to the family of
Mohammed, who resides along the
Bay Bridge Road area of Yenagoa, the
state capital, the victim was shot last
Tuesday at Erepa Road and dumped
at the Federal Medical Centre, FMC.
While Mohammed’s family claimed he
was shot by the mobile policeman
after argument with the woman who
engaged him for the clearing of a
portion of land close to her home at
Erepa Road, residents who claimed to
have witnessed the incident, said after
the argument with the woman over
the right sum to pay for the job and
Mohammed’s squabble with a Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC, officer, the policeman shot
him in the thigh to demobilise him.
Mohammed, who refused to file a
formal complaint at the Police Station
over fear of further harm by other
policemen, accused the woman who
awarded him the menial job of
cheating.
Victim’s story
Mohammed said: “We agreed on
N3,000. But after I finished the work,
she said she will pay N1,000. I got
angry and she called in some
policemen guarding the home of a
senior police officer on Erepa Road.
“The first person that came was a Civil
Defence man and he claimed I
stabbed him, and the mobile
policeman, without asking questions,
shot me in the thigh.”
The policemen, about three, on guard
duty at the residence of the
unidentified senior officer, pleaded
with Mohammed’s family to allow
them raise money for his treatment
and leave out formal complaint
against them.
Meanwhile, Mohammed, according to
the family, has been taken to Bauchi
for traditional treatment.
Contacted, spokesman of the state
Police Command, Asimi Butswat, said
though he was not aware of any
formal complaint by the purported
victim, the action of the victim was
suspicious and has the semblance of
an armed robbery suspect.

You shoot a man who is not armed over #3000? How much does a bullet cost? Some policeman are just trigger hungry. Quick recovery to the victim.
