Cop shoots two colleagues in Adamawa

A police officer at the Michika Divisional Police Headquarters in Adamawa State was on Tuesday shot dead after he shot two of his colleagues who are now receiving treatment in the hospital.

The state’s police spokesperson, Muhammed Ibrahim, confirmed the incident.

 The shooter, whose name was given as Abba Gana, allegedly opened fire on his colleagues without any reason.

Ibrahim said that Gana, who resisted arrest, was shot dead by officers of the state’s special anti- robbery patrol, ‘Operation Tsaro’.

“It’s an unfortunate incident this morning, one of our policemen who signed for a rifle for duty, turned around and opened fire on his colleagues who are now receiving treatment in the hospital,” he said.

Four months ago, a police officer at the Police Divisional Headquarters in Gombi Local Government Area of the state also went berserk, shooting three of his colleagues to death before killing himself.
