Yesterday, a policeman allegedly shot dead a 'Hero' beer truck driver during a road rage in Onitsha, Anambra state. According to eye-witnesses, the truck driver had parked his truck in a manner the policeman said was disturbing other road users. The policeman who was part of an escort van came down from his police vehicle, approached the truck and an argument ensued. For reasons best known to the police officer, he opened fire and shot dead the truck driver.
This morning, an angry
mob, including truck drivers and conductors came out in their numbers to protest the death of their colleague. They burnt tyres and blocked the gate leading to the company where the policeman worked. When the protest seemed to be getting out of hand, the army had to be called in and they came with an armored tank. See the photos after the cut...

wow,a full war ready armoured rank for protesters who aren't even shooting,na wa for Nigerian army and police, but if they are sent to fight insurgents who also posses armoured tanks,they will run away.
Shoots driver dead not shoots dead driver
Once we're done with Boko haram, the next people we're going to face is the Nigerian police.
They've killed more innocent Nigerians than armed robbers.

God save us from the hand of these police men..the way they shot now eh I don't understand.
Useless police officers
Warris all this?
Stupid Nigerian police that doesn't have good training how to use a gun or any weapon @all even a broom...
If they did they won't be calling the army when things get too bad like this,they know how to harrass people but don't know how to maintain peace and order.. what's the need of having police men then,change them to vigilante and give them sticks... ndiara lol

After police man 'SHOOTS DRIVER DEAD'
Nawa oh.....
And the story ends there cos that's the last we'll hear about the cop. Lesson dont ever drag or argue with a cop cos when he decides to shoot u. Sorry will b ur case. May his soul rest in peace
Firstly, Linda, that's not an 'armoured tank'...that's an 'APC' (armoured personnel carrier).
Secondly and more importantly, our police force needs to be purged intensely and more stringent punishments issued to officers and men (of the police force) for cases like this. How on earth can so-called 'law enforcers' keep abusing the use of their weapons by shooting unarmed and civilians that pose not threat to them?
That police man should be arrested and made to face the law.
God Bless Nigeria.
Nawaa ooooo
Mayb d police man don high suckaway...abi im drink alomo n zobo mix 2geda
Act of lawlessness...wia is their manners from christ sake..i mean d police

where in onitsha
In Baltimore, police arrested a man who died in their custody and presently a curfew has been imposede due to rioting.
When will we learn. The driver shot dead has family and relations. Must the police cause anarchy?
Those who killed by gun, must die by gun. I decided not to use fowl language because I know vividly that nemesis who catch up with him..... I have spoken.... Gbam!!!
Careless police officer.
Rest in peace to the dead.
Nigerian police!!!!!
I HATE THE POLICE FORCE AND THEY ARE THE MAJOR PROBLEM OF THIS COUNTRY ,I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY DO THEIR RECRUITING BUT I THINK THEY RECRUIT CRIMINALS A LOT. A POLICE MAN CAN TURN TO ANYTHING AT ANYTIME JUST TO RIP PEOPLE OFF AND CAUSE PAIN. I HEARD THEY DO CUT AND SHARE WITH CRIMINAL.
onitsha na anya....see onlookers outnumbered the police...army nd rioters
that's 2 bad.
there are no soldiers in the pic. just riot policemen and...
Igbos again. Thank God I didn't marry that Igbo man cos I would have been so ashamed of myself now. May that police man be dealt with.
IGBO PEOPLE ARE UNDER ATTACK, THEY HAVE THIS KIND OF ARMYIN NIGERIA YET THEY DIDNT CAPTURE SHAKAUR BUT IF IS TO KILL INNOCENT IGBOS THEY SLAUGHTER US LIKE ANIMALS, JUSTICE
The armored tank's role is still confusing,biko are they going to war? Nigerian police force should really stop opening fire on harmless civilians.
Police is caused. see them all over the world misbehaving and killing armless innocent pple. if the company cant fish d idiot out the bereaved fam. shld sue d company. Lawless currupt Idiots. #IHatePolice

Too bad
N NPF v suddenly become vampire, I so much hate dem
She obviously corrected herself........
Too many trigger happy policemen in this country
Bonario, the man after my own heart, you have spoken well like usual.
PARENTAL ADVISORY!!!
***explicit comment***
Gbam, Ifa has spoken
Hmmmm. Na wa o
Funny how a police officer thinks this is acceptable, there is absolutely no excuse for his, even if he was slapped by the driver, has he ever heard of arrest or impounding a car? since when did taking a life become punishment for blocking the road or parking wrongly.
the story is not complete if you didn't mention the name of the company, details will make the story a news worth Linda-Ikeji blog readers, please do.
Later they will say police is your friend. Kaycee pls get us the name of the company
