A truck owner identified as Alhaji Dan Jos, who reportedly challenged a police officer who reportedly urinated on his truck, has been shot dead by the trigger-happer officer on Thursday at the Tin Can Island Port, which brought operations to a halt as his colleagues began a protest.
Speaking with a Vanguard correspondent, an eyewitness, Kabiru Alaba, said the unidentified police officer, attached to the RORO Division, shot Dan Jos for challenging his colleague who urinated on a truck parked in the premises.
He added that the offending policeman called a colleague from the RORO Division, who attacked Jos without finding out what happened.
“The police officer was urinating on one of our trucks when Alhaji challenged him. It later led to an altercation and he called his colleague from the division, who came and shot Alhaji in his thigh,”
Alaba said.
Alaba said.
It was gathered that the incident led to demonstration by members of the Road Transport Employee Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), who took to the Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in protest.
While sensing that the protest might degenerate further, the said police officer reportedly shot sporadically into the air, making protesters scamper for safety.
Confirming the incident, the RTEAN Chairman, Tin Can Island chapter, Isiaka Olalere, said: “I have just been told that one of my members was shot dead by a police officer. I am going there to put everything under control.”
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the Maritime Command, ASP Sadik Olatunde, said he was not aware of the crisis at the port, adding “I will get across to the DPO at the Command to put everything under control.”
