A police sergeant, identified as Ahmed Ali, has been shot dead by some soldiers in Benisheikh town, Borno State after his team intercepted a military man in a vehicle conveying Indian hemp.

Locals and security sources told Daily Trust that the incident happened at the town’s entry checkpoint around 10 am on Monday.

A security source told our correspondent that the soldier, driving in an ash-coloured Acura sport utility vehicle with the registration number FKJ 761 AR, beat a security checkpoint and refused to stop despite a warning from the police.

“His refusal to stop prompted the crack police team to shoot at his tyre, which forced him to stop; but in an effort to drive the vehicle to Benisheikh police station, Sgt Ali was shot dead by the soldiers.

“The soldier carrying the Indian hemp, identified as Sgt U. Joseph, along with his other colleagues, tried to stop the Crack Squad from confiscating the vehicle, which led to the shooting and Sgt Ali who was reversing with the vehicle got killed by the bullet,” one of the security sources revealed.

Our correspondent gathered that the suspect is currently under the custody of the military, while the vehicle is parked at the Benisheikh police station.

A source from the military described the shooting as a mistake as a soldier named Ibrahim Waberi fired at the vehicle in an attempt to stop it from being moved by the deceased.

“His shot mistakenly hit the deceased but the accused soldier is in custody for investigation,” he said.

An attempt by Daily Trust to speak to the police failed as the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Sani Kamilu Shatambaya, was on leave, and his deputy couldn’t be reached for comments.

I have always said it, these people called soldiers are becoming menace to our society...I hate them more than I hate thief.

U will see them harrasing someone old enough to be their grandfather just because they are holding a gun.
Let the government legalise gun for the citizens and see how the so called soldiers will become soft and friendly.

You ehnn! You know whether the police recieve intel about the military vehicle?
Or whether na just the normal stop and search wey naija police dey do?
Why you feel say police no fit pull military vehicle over? Na public roadway.

Police officers can pull over military vehicles if they have probable cause to believe that the vehicle is being operated in violation of the law. If the police officer suspects that the vehicle contains evidence of a crime, he or she may search the vehicle. So Dem get why,no carry talk!

How many innocent men, children and women died at the hands of this your new found friends at check points in this country?

How many father's have been humiliated and killed just like that, some over 50 naira and 100 naira?

Did you watch the video of a man being molested and humiliated for nothing by the police at Emohua Rivers State?

Be very careful when you come here an make insensitive statements. because you are just mocking the innocent people in their graves who got killed for nothing by the police.

Be very very careful ooh...

May people say this when you or your family are involved

Only happens in a failed State like Nigeria

12 LASMA officials were beaten blue and black by NA for performing their duty and now this.

Like some persons big the law or what....

If only they can use this energy to face the insurgency ravaging our nation

Hmmm

welcome to the era of drug and drug related reactions...forfeit

Rubbish story as usual from the uncivilized Nigerian police force .

The policemen main purpose of stopping the vehicle may not necessarily be to arrest and prosecute the hard drug dealing soldiers,it may well be to extort the military officer, besides,when has it become a crime to move or use hard drugs in Nigeria since their president elect is a well known hard drug barron.
