A commercial bus driver identified as Saminu Bara'u popularly known as
Danlami was allegedly killed by a trigger-happy police officer in
Maraban Jos, Kaduna State on Tuesday November 15th. Facebook user who
shared the story, calling for justice, wrote;
"The incidence occurred around 8pm of Tuesday 15th November 2016 while
the victim was seated outside his residence in Maraban Jos when a team
of police stormed the area in the name of patrol. Having fractured his
leg and being innocent, Danlami remain seated as the police arrived.
One Police Officer nicknamed KURA (literarilly mean
Hyena) ordered Danlami to stand up and run before he shoots him, which
he calmly replied that he cannot run because his leg is fractured
displaying his crutches. Unfortunately for Danlami, the barbaric KURA
shot him to dead (the pic). Immediately after he shot Danlami, angry
youths descended on KURA and were about to take jungle justice on him.
It took the intervention of some respected elders and a human right
activist (name with-held) to rescue him.
The case has since been filed at Unguwan Sunusi Police Station and we
learnt that KURA was transferred to State CID. Our fear is the usual, we
don't want the case dead at arrival just because a Police Officer
involved.
Let us stand up for justice! Let us think of his wife and 3 kids! The
State Government should do something!! The IGP should ensure KURA is
brought to book!!!
Keep sharing until justice is done. All we want is
#Justice4Danlami.........
May his soul rest in peace.
