A trigger happy police sergeant attached to Elelewon Police Divisional headquarters at Obio-Akpor LGA of Rivers State has killed a staff of Onne-based Intels, Abiodun Jimoh over demand for bail money, despite police authorities saying ‘bail is free’.
Ismail Jimoh, brother to Abiodun said police officers on a patrol stopped him and his brother while they were on motorbike going back to their house on Friday 18 December 2020. He said the police officers searched them and saw nothing incriminating.
They only had on them, their ID cards and iPhone and other handsets. He said one of the police officers insisted on taking them to the Police station at Elelenwo. Ismail said he rode on the motorbike and stayed in front, while his brother was inside the Police patrol van as they headed to the station.
