A Police corporal on Friday  shot the Commanding Officer (OC) Mobile police unit, 10 PMF Bauchi, Superintendent of Police (SP) Chris L Eza while on routine visit at the Stop and Search Point along Ahmadu Bello way in the state.

It was gathered that the Corporal was recently “demopped” to regular police and the Commanding Officer, Mopol sighted the corporal at the check point with Mobile Police uniform and asked him to go and remove it and wear the regular  police uniform before he comes back.

But the corporal failed to change the uniform; hence the Commanding Officer asked the corporal to give him (CO) his rifle but the corporal  was said to have vowed to open fire at CO if he advanced  towards him .But  Eza moved towards the officer who  sadly opened  fire at  him.
