The alleged killing of two teenagers by policemen has thrown residents of Tudun Matawalle, Sabuwar Unguwa, in the Katsina metropolis into panic mode.
Aside from the deceased two teenagers, residents told PREMIUM TIMES that three other youth are receiving treatment in two medical facilities for injuries sustained during the incident.
The youth were allegedly killed by policemen suspected to be from the Sabon Gari Divisional Police Office on Sunday.
Residents told PREMIUM TIMES that the policemen invaded a wedding party where a disk jockey was entertaining the families and friends of the bride and groom.
Yusuf Ahmed – Rufai, whose son, Jawwad Yusuf, was one of the two teenagers killed, told PREMIUM TIMES that the deceased was killed while returning from an Islamic school in the evening.
“My son was returning from school when he was hit by the bullet that claimed his life. I was not around but I was told that there was an event in the area.
“A policeman and some vigilante members in the area tried to stop the event, which we don’t know why up till now, since there is no law prohibiting that. The boys there, however, insisted that since they were not doing anything unlawful, they’ll go ahead with their event.
“The policeman then started shooting because I was told the boys were shouting at him and calling him names. At that time, my son, among some students was returning from school and he was hit by a bullet,” Mr Ahmed – Rufai said.
He said his son, Jawwad, was shot alongside an Almajiri child. And the two died.
Mr Ahmed – Rufai said when he reached the Federal Teaching Hospital, Katsina, a medical doctor pulled him aside and told him that there was still a bullet in his son’s stomach.
“The doctor told me that my son was brought to the hospital shot by policemen and the bullet was still in his stomach. They (medical doctors) tried to save him but it was too late because the children were first taken to the General Hospital Katsina but were rejected there. So, it was too late when they were taken to Federal Teaching Hospital and when I saw him on the bed, I knew he would not make it because he had already lost a lot of blood,” he said.
He said the Area Commandant has reached out to the family with the assurance that the culprits would be brought to justice.
