Policeman Kills Driver For Refusing to Offer Bribe in Ondo
A policeman in Uso, Owo local government area of Ondo state, has allegedly opened fire on a haulage driver over his refusal to offer bribe.
It was gathered that the yet-to-be-identified driver was shot around 2pm while moving some items to Abuja.
A witness said policemen at a checkpoint in Uso stopped the driver and made their request known but the driver failed to comply, insisting that his documents were complete.
“The policemen flagged him down and he complied. After they demanded money from him but he refused, insisting that all his papers were intact. It later generated a lot of argument. The argument led to the shooting of the driver at close range,” the witness said.
Femi Joseph, spokesman of the Ondo police command, described the action of the officer as barbaric.
