Sad! Father of 3 killed by a police officer in Kaduna sparks reactions on social media (Graphic Photos)
A father of three identified as Saminu Bara’u popularly known as Danlami, who was reportedly murdered in cold blood by an officer of the Nigeria police force in Maraban Jos, Kaduna State, has sparked massive reactions on social media.
The death of Bara’u was made public on Friday, in a post shared on Nairaland forum via the Facebook page of Mohammed Grema Adamu.
Bara’u who is a commercial bus driver was murdered at about 8.pm on Tuesday (November 15) while seating in front of his house in Maraban Jos.
Reports say a team of police officers stormed the area in the name of patrol, but due to his fractured leg, he remained outside his house. One of the police Officer nicknamed Kura (meaning Hyena) ordered Danlami to stand up and run but he explained that he cannot run because of his legs and even went ahead to show them his crutches, but in the process Kura got angry and shot him.
Kura was almost lynched by angry youths but the swift intervention of some revered elders and a human right activist (name with-held) saved his life.
The case has been filed at Unguwan Sunusi police station and Kura has been taken into custody.
