Jonathan's Convoy-police Shoot FRSC Officer 4 Times by maimalari: 11:15am On Dec 14, 2013 |
Policemen and some officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) yesterday clashed in Wuse Zone 2 in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The incident involved plain clothes and FRSC officials who were on the road to clear it for the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan. In the ensuing melee, an official of the FRSC was shot while another was injured. An eyewitness told LEADERSHIP Weekend that trouble started when officials of the FRSC were ordered by the police to leave their duty post around the Central Area where President Jonathan’s convoy always pass to the presidential villa from the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport. It was gathered that the policemen and FRSC officials of the FRSC were mobilised to the area ahead of the president’s convoy from the airport. The alleged refusal of the FRSC officials to leave the area which they claimed to be their duty post to ensure traffic flow angered the policemen who were led by a divisional police officer (DPO). The angry policemen allegedly seized the Hilux van belonging to the FRSC and arrested its occupants. But other officials of the FRSC who got wind of the news blocked the road at the intersection of Sultan Abubakar Way and Olusegun Obasanjo Way at Wuse Zone 2 insisting that their officials and vehicle be released by the policemen. “As they were arguing, a senior police officer used his gun to hit an officer of the FRSC on the head and another policeman started shooting into the air and suddenly I saw one official of FRSC down. That is when we started running for our lives,” the eyewitness told LEADERSHIP Weekend. Another eyewitness said the police were another shot the official four times. “They came from Bolingo Hotel area where the president’s usually pass from the airport and started shouting at the FRSC men who barricaded the road with their trucks and then shot one of the FRSC men four times but I don’t know if he is still alive, he said”. At the scene of the clash, officials of FRSC were seen taking the victims to hospital while men of the Nigeria police wearing bullet-proof vests were leaving the area. LEADERSHIP Weekend learnt that the operation was carried out by men of the Abuja Crimes Control Squad 44 (ACCOS 44). Attempt to speak to the most senior officer of FRSC at the scene yielded no result as he declined to comment on the matter. One of the FRSC officials later said that since the appointment of the new FCT police commissioner, Femi Ogunbayode, a directive was given to the FRSC by the police to leave the streets of Abuja for the highways outside the Federal Capital City for their operations. The police high command refused to respond to enquiries by our correspondent on the matter. http://leadership.ng/news/141213/jonathan-s-convoy-police-shoot-frsc-officer |

But this isn't the first time that GEJ's convoy would be passing that area... Shouldn't they have known the protocol by now? Anyway, justice must be served on the murderous policeman. |

It will be really senseless for anyone to die for this country leaving his children,wife,mother,father,brothers,sisters and other relatives too numerous to mention to mourn his demise. I can only die protecting them and not otherwise. |

Its a pity that man died for nothing, cos nobody will take the matter up, even if the Daftard that was said his convoy will pass hears that a life is lost, and some children are now fatherless cos he was to pass a route, he won't be moved an inch. |

Police having operational clashes with FRSC is getting common & deserves attention. If true, the errant and senseless Police officer deserves a jail term for shooting illicitly. Front page pls. |
