An official of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC, has shot dead a mobile police officer attached to an anti-robbery outfit in Bayelsa State.
The Civil Defense officer and the late policeman were both attached to the state owned security outfit called ‘Operation Door Akpor’. The cop was mistakenly shot by the NSCDC man during a shoot-out with some armed robbers in Yenagoa, the state capital.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Alex Akhigbe, who confirmed the incident, explained that, “last Monday night, the police received a distress call that armed robbers had attacked a petrol station at Edepie roundabout in the state capital.
“When the patrol team got there, the robbers opened fire on sighting the police van, so there was a shoot-out, and in the process, the civil defense personnel mistakenly shot his patrol team colleague.”
He described the incident as unfortunate.
