The peaceful atmosphere of Mpape, a few minutes drive from the Abuja city centre, was disrupted as mob sets ablaze a branch of a leading commercial bank, Zenith bank in the area following the alleged killing of a pregnant woman by a policeman attached to the bank.

According to an eye witness account, the Policeman challenged a taxi driver who was trying to make a U-turn in front of the bank and mistakenly released fire and killed a woman who was passing by.

The gun shot was what attracted the people of the area to the scene and forced their way into the bank while employees of the bank escaped through the bank’s window and ran for their lives.

However, before the security operatives could be reinforced to the scene, the bank has been torched.

The Federal Capital Territory police commissioner John Haruna told journalists at the scene of the incident that the situation is now under control, promising that the policeman who allegedly shot the woman would be properly investigated and prosecuted according to the law.
