An undisclosed police man on wednesday night shot down a commercial motorcyclist to death along water works road that leads to Ebonyi State University, CAS Campus for refusing to give him N50 bribe.



A witness to the incident disclosed to ebsucommunity.com that the okada man who is at his 20s was carrying a female passenger when he was flagged down by the police man.

“When they stopped him, they demanded for their usual N50 but he gave them N20 and wanted to drive off when one of them opened fire on him. The bullet shattered his head and he died instantly,” said the witness. Hence, there was no information on whether the female passenger was also hit by the bullet


Another source said, " He just dropped his friennd and coming back, the police man stopped him and demaded N50 from him but he refused, on trying to escape, the police man cocked and shoot the man on his forehead, close to the eyes" he said.
The incident has caused an uproar this morning along the road as residents came out in mass to the scene attempting to mob any police man at sight.

But a new detachment of police officers arrived immediately to restore peace and tranquility at the scene.

However, the state Governor, speaking through his Chief Press Secretary, Emmanuel Uzor pronounced as barbaric and callous and promised that justice will prevail on the killing and also vow to work with the security agents to making sure that the culprit was arrested and prosecuted.
