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.
