AWKA — A MOBILE police officer at a check point in the commercial town of Onitsha in Anambra State who killed a taxi driver yesterday for allegedly refusing to offer him N20 is to be dismissed and charged to court for murder.



Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Anambra State, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, who confirmed the incident, said the police officer had been arrested and was being detained at the State Police headquarters in Awka.

According to the PPRO, the officer will be tried departmentally before beingtaken to court. He added that he was already on his way out of the police force.

The incident came barely one week after another police officer in the town shot dead a bus driver at the popular Upper Iweka, just as another police man shot a commercial driver at the old toll gate in Onitsha after tearing to pieces the driver’s license, which grounded movement for several hours, following a violent protests by commercial drivers who blocked the Express Way with their vehicles.

Yesterday’s incident, which occurred on the over – head bridge at the same Upper Iweka area along the Enugu-Onitsha Express Way at about 1 00 pm, threw passers-by into panic as some transporters who watched what happened went after the police team at the check point.

An eyewitness told Vanguard that the taxi driver was descending the fly-over when he ran into the police road block.

it is the civilians that the police can kill easily but when they come across the bigger boys (robbers) they will run 40-40. let the blood of the man that was killed continue to tormet the police officer till he dies.
