Police dismiss Sergent over alleged killing of undergraduate

The Bayelsa State Police Command has dismissed a police Sergeant who allegedly shot and killed a 20-year-old undergraduate, Tariela Nikadae, on Friday.

NAN reports that the incident happened during a police raid and detention of residents by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Command.

The detained residents were later screened and freed by the police following intervention by their relatives.

However, speaking on the incident on Wednesday, the spokesman for the Command, Asinim Butswa told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the sergeant would soon be arraigned.

“The Bayelsa State Police Command regrets the unfortunate incident involving a police officer and a resident of Tenacious Road, Edepie, Yenagoa.

“Sgt. Timadi Emmanuel attached to a patrol team of Akenfa Division, while on patrol at Tenacious Road, Edepie, under questionable circumstances shot one Tariela Nikade, male, aged 20.

“The policeman has been dismissed after preliminary investigations into the incident and he will be prosecuted as soon as investigations are concluded,” Butswat said.
