Abdullahi Bello, a truck driver, has narrated the incident that landed him on the hospital bed. During a recent interview with Chima Azubuike, the injured victim revealed how he got shot by a security officer who felt disrespected.
You may recall that a truck driver reportedly got shot on the Dukku-Darazo Expressway while attempting to deliver a truckload of rice to a state in the North-East. The victim has since claimed that he got shot by officer Ishaku during a stop and search operation.
Narrating the incident, Bello said, “When we got to a stop-and-search line, smaller vehicles were in front of us. To our surprise, officer Ishaku and others at the checkpoint allowed the smaller vehicles to pass, but when we wanted to pass, he blocked the road. As I attempted to come out of the truck, I noticed that this officer was cocking his gun. I initially thought he was joking as there was nothing to warrant him to shoot me. He began by shooting into the air. We thought he was doing that to scare us off, but then he turned the gun on us and began to fire. In the process, a bullet hit me on my buttocks.”
Explaining the possible cause of the incident, Bello said, “No, he did not ask me for any money, and I did not give him either. If there was an issue, it should be the fact that I did not wind down my glass when he greeted me. When my glass got lowered, I noticed he was angry with me.”
