Police officer intentionally shoots roadside mechanic on the legs - Photos

According to news emanating from Okene local government area of Kogi state and as confirmed by ebiraview.blogspot.com, a policeman simply identified by his nickname "Arrow" from the Okene division has shot a man, on his way to his motor mechanics workshop in the early hours of Monday.

Its unfortunate that policemen who are supposed to protect citizens are now putting their lives in danger. According to sources, the victim of the gunshot who is in a critical condition and has been referred from the Okene General Hospital to Specialist Hospital Lokoja, is a roadside motor mechanic who normally takes a short route, an alley between GRA Okene and the St. Andrew's Primary school to his workshop.

According to our source, the victim was heading to his workshop when the policeman called him, a call he refused to heed as he was running late for work.
The trigger-happy police officer was said to have fired gunshots at him three times at a close range, with claims that the man attempted to snatch their gun.

This claim by the police is highly refuted by youths in the area who said the police van was parked about 500mtrs away from the fated Boy.

No clear reason has been given for this mishap in the hands of the Police.

I hope these post gets to the appropriate authority. Possibly the police IG to wade into this issue and ensure that the police officer is prosecuted. Such police officer is definitely a wrong person to wear uniforms.
