......Fleeing cop arrested
Riot has broken out in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State following the shooting of a commercial driver and two of his passengers by a policeman.
The policeman guarding a new generation bank at the Ekeki axis of the capital city was said to have opened fire on a commercial bus belonging to Peace Mass, a popular transport company in Yenagoa.
The yet-to-be-identified police operative reportedly boarded a commercial tricycle and escaped the scene shortly after wrecking havoc in the area.
It was learnt the bullet, which was shot at close range, pierced through the driver’s head and hit two other passengers, including a suspected member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The misfortune incident occurred opposite a Peace Mass terminus while the driver was trying to let his passengers disembark his bus before making a detour to enter the terminus.
Trouble started when the policeman got enraged because the driver stopped the ill-fated bus in front of the bank.
