A police officer, Abdullahi Garba, has allegedly stabbed his colleague, Shu’aibu Sani Malunfashi, to death in Kebbi State.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Nafi’u Abubakar, said ASP Garba, who is the officer in charge of the Suwa police outpost, and ASP Malunfashi a Divisional Crime Officer II, Argungu Divisional Police Headquarters, had an altercation which led to physical combat inside the Fishing Village area, Argungu Town.
The police spokesperson said that on receipt of the report of the fight, the Divisional Police Officer, Argungu, swiftly rushed to the scene, arrested the erring Officer, recovering the exhibit, and rushed ASP Malunfashi to Sir Yahaya Memorial Hospital, Birnin Kebbi, where a medical doctor confirmed him dead.
He said that the erring police officer, ASP Garba was immediately arrested and detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Birnin Kebbi, while the case has also been referred to the Homicide section for a discreet investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the ugly incident.
The statement also said the Commissioner of Police, Ahmed Magaji Kontagora, has delegated a team of senior police officers to condole the family and friends of the deceased police officer and prayed for him to rest in peace.
CP Kontagora was also said to have condemned the action exhibited by the erring officer which goes contrary to teachings of the police, Police Act and Regulations as well as other relevant laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The CP warned officers and men of the Command to always live in peace with one another and report their grievances to the appropriate sections within the Force for redress instead of referring to self-help.
