No fewer than four policemen have been detained in connection with the alleged killing of a 17-year-old boy, Innocent Kokorifa.
PUNCH Metro had reported on
Tuesday that Innocent, the first out of five children of Mr. Daniel
Kokorifa, an official of the Federal Road Safety Corps, was shot dead by
the Bayelsa State Police Command’s Anti-Vice team on Airforce Road in
Yenagoa on August 18, 2016.
The victim was said to be running an
errand for his mother, Pere, when he was allegedly killed by the police
at about 11am on the day.
The state police command had in a
statement last week claimed that the victim died in a gun battle between
a three-man armed robbery gang and the police team.
A police source, who did not want his
name mentioned because he was not authorised to speak on the matter,
confided in our correspondent on Tuesday that the policemen were
detained at the Bayelsa State Command headquarters.http://punchng.com/four-policemen-detained-killing-bayelsa-teenager/
