Policeman shoots colleague dead in Jos

A mobile policeman attached to the Special
Task Force in Jos shot and killed his colleague
on Saturday. Two other people were also said
to have been injured in the shooting, which
occurred in the early hours of Saturday in Jol,
Riyom Local Government Area of Plateau
State.
The injured people, who had not been
identified as at the time of this report, were
said to be on danger list at Vom Christian
Hospital, near Jos.
The Executive Director of Stefanos
Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, told our
correspondent that they had yet to
understand the motive of the shooting.
Plateau State Police Commissioner, Mr. Chris
Olakpe, told our correspondent that
investigations were on to ascertain the cause
of the incident.
He said, “I am right now addressing the men
to calm them down so that the incident will
not dampen their spirit. We will not like
anything that will affect their morale,
especially at this time we are preparing for a
crucial task of the local government elections
in the state. The incident is highly regrettable
and we want to ensure that it does not
happen again.”
