A video making rounds online shows the moment a police officer killed one of his colleagues while attacking peaceful protesters in Katsina State.
The video obtained by Cliq Nigeria on Friday show the deceased man in his uniform lying in a pool of blood after being shot by his colleague.
“In the peak of unprofessionalism, a careless policeman killed his colleague and harm civilians in Katsina,” an X user, A.O. Yusuf captioned the videos.
Commenting on it, another user, Salako said, “This is a very sad & unfortunate watch. It is also evident that the Nigerian Police Force are the cascading indices of violence in the ongoing protests.
“If this video evidence didn’t exist, Ben Hundeyin & Muyiwa would have blamed it on protesters.
“A national squad of clowns.”
The police have not published an official statement on this incident, and attempts made by SaharaReporters to obtain comments from the State Police Spokesman, ASP Sadiq Aliyu, on it were unsuccessful.
When contacted by SaharaReporters, he did not deny or confirm the incident.
“Let me call you back,” he said.
