The Police Command in Bayelsa has dismissed a police Sergeant
who allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old undergraduate, Tariela
Nikadae, on Friday.
Asinim Butswat, the spokesman for the Command, told News Agency
of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Yenagoa that the sergeant would
soon be arraigned.
NAN recalls that the incident happened during a police raid and
detention of residents by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the
Command.
The detained residents were later screened and freed by the
police following intervention by their relatives.
“The Bayelsa State Police Command regrets the unfortunate
incident involving a police officer and a resident of Tenacious
Road, Edepie, Yenagoa.
“Sgt. Timadi Emmanuel attached to a patrol team of Akenfa
Division, while on patrol at Tenacious Road, Edepie, under
questionable circumstances shot one Tariela Nikade, male, aged
20.
“The policeman has been dismissed after preliminary
investigations into the incident and he will be prosecuted as soon
as investigations are concluded,” Butswat said.
