A mobile policeman attached to Zenith Bank, Zaria, on Friday killed his colleague attached to the same bank following disagreement over monthly stipends being given them by the bank.

A quarrel ensued between the policemen, Mathew Joshua, who is a corporal, and Aliyu Kamilu, a sergeant, following the discovery that the sergeant had been short-changing the corporal.

When Joshua confronted Kamilu on the issue, they started shouting at each other and “the corporal, who was holding on to his rifle shot the sergeant in his stomach.

“After shooting the sergeant, Joshua started shouting and shooting, eventually killing a university student,” an eyewitness told NAN.
The eyewitness said that four customers of the bank also sustained bullet wounds.

“When the report of the incident reached their command in Zaria, a team of policemen was immediately mobilised to the area.

“The policemen met their colleague with two rifles. They had no option than to systematically take position.

“One of them succeeded in shooting Joshua on the leg, which gave people around the opportunity to descend on him with stones.”

He said Joshua, Kamilu and the student were rushed to the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika, Zaria.

At the hospital the student and Kamilu were confirmed dead.

A source at the Police Area Command, Zaria, also confirmed the death of Joshua at ABUTH.

“The Nigeria Police has no case because the two policemen gave-up the ghost,” the source said..

“Information coming to us now is that the affected policemen have died, therefore, we have no case.”

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Police Command, Kaduna, DSP Aliyu Usman, confirmed the incident.

He, however, said that he had yet to get details on the matter.

I was there when it all went down but fear no let me carry phone dey snap the event

it all started like this....

I woke up early this morning, made my way to the bank, Manchester road precisely where GTBank was situated, I got there, there was no money at the ATM machine, infact I went round the whole Zaria non of the banks ATM machines was loaded with money (like say na plan work).

I got to diamond bank round about, made my way up to zenith bank, I got there but the crowd there was something else, so as I was about leaving, two of the mopols guiding the bank were arguing then one of them asked the other to hand over his rifle to him if not he will shoot him, like play like play, the guy cocked his rifle, his name was Ayuba Hamisu while the other one was Joshua Matthew both of them were Sergeants and attached to Mopol 47 squadron Zaria, so Joshua handed over his rifle to Ayuba knowing fully well that Ayuba has already cocked his rifle and anything can happen, while the rest mopols were just looking in amaze.

The next thing I heard was, lie down, at this moment I knew something terrible was about to happen.

So I left the premises of the bank, kick starts my vehicle and drove off immediately, suddenly it was not up to 30seconds I heard a gun shot, people started running for their dear lives, I parked my car to know what was going on, then I looked down to zenith bank, two people were already on the ground dead including Joshua the other Mopol man that was lying on the ground before I left the bank.

The next thing I saw, was an Okada man dropped dead from his Okada, at that period I knew war has started, as I was trying to get the clear picture of what really transpired to that ugly event, I saw the Ayuba with two AK47s shooting rapidly chanting Allah Uhakubar as you can see from the picture.

I quickly hid myself with others in one of the shops at PZ bustop, immediately news got to Zaria Area command who mobilized men to the scene before they could got there one of the mopols has already shot Ayuba in both legs, he couldn't get up again with the rifles fell off his hands and I saw mobs gathered and started hitting him with so many objects they could lay their hands on.

Police later dispersed the crowd, took Ayuba to hospital together with Joshua who was already dead before getting to hospital and three other persons who they later confirmed dead on arrival due to multiple gun shots.

The said Ayuba later gave up due to serious beating by the mobs and lose of blood.

For this Christmas, I thank my God say my head no follow join oooo, make Una help me thank God oooo. the incident was so terrible
