Halliru Liman, Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Wasagu Division of the police in Kebbi state, is dead.

Liman died when he was reportedly shot dead by a soldier at a checkpoint in Zamfara.

According to ASP Yazid Abubakar, spokesman of the Zamfara State Police Command, the deceased police officer was on his way to Birnin Kebbi in Kebbi State to attend a meeting when he was stopped on the way at Danmarke area in Bukkuyum Local Government Area of Zamfara by military personnel attached to Operation Dadarin Daji.

Abubakar said the officer was murdered on the spot by the military personnel, despite identifying himself as a police officer.

In a statement issued to newsmen on Thursday, the command’s spokesperson demanded a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident so as to ensure those responsible are brought to book.

“On August 28, 2024, at approximately 1030 hours, SP Liman was brutally murdered by military personnel led by one Hassan, attached to OPHD Sector 6, Dan Marke area of Bukkuyum, Zamfara State.

“The circumstances surrounding this heinous crime are alarming and unacceptable.

“SP Liman, who was on his way to attend a monthly conference in Birnin Kebbi, was stopped by military personnel despite identifying himself as a police officer.

“In a shocking display of aggression, Hassan pointed his gun at SP Liman and shot him in the head, resulting in his instant death. We condemn this unprovoked attack in the strongest possible and demand a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident”

“The military’s actions are a clear violation of the rules of engagement and the principles of inter-agency cooperation. We urge the relevant authorities to take immediate action to address this egregious incident and ensure that those responsible are held able”.

“The police and military must work together to maintain peace and security, not engage in violent confrontations that undermine public trust. We extend our deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of SP Halliru Liman and assure them that we will do everything in our power to ensure justice is served.”

God have Mercy

"one Hassan"?

Is his full name a rocket science?

Insincerity and unability have finished Nigeria.

I still ask why the media shield criminals. If this police officer was the murderer, his face wouldn't have been shown to the public, just as the name and the face of the soldier that murdered this officer are hidden from the public.

As sad as it is, some trigger happy policemen will know how painful it is to gun down innocent people.

Nah dem sabi ….

The worst soldier is still better than one of the best policeman in Nigeria

Example of best Policeman…. DSP Abba Kayari

Nlfpmod, high time we have anger management training for our gun s......

"Do you know who am i" na him dey cause all these

Please, let there be peace in our beloved country. I believe the president is working tirelessly and aimlessly to make sure all good things of life is surplus for the commoners.

The citizens are well behind the president and I hope he reciprocate the love shown to him by performing better, even better than previous istration.

I adjourn you my fellow commoners, we the common citizens of Niger Area, to come together and his big mandate, His Excellent Professor Alhaji Bola Ahmed Shonekan Tinubu, the Lord and savior of Niger Area.

Friendly fire. Na dem dem.

Nigeria we hail thee.

A country populated by victims and only few are citizens.

You wonder why many rich people struggle to be political office holders, just so they can eventually become citizens of Nigeria with their rights respected by all.

Whose car, why AK-47 in the trunk
Was it implanted?

I have no sympathy towards slain policeman. Those people are worse than demons.

Kudos to the soldier for killing that useless criminal.

This is what you see in a country where rulers are agberos, touts, certificate forgers, drug barons, kidnappers, killers and murderers.

Hmm

Maybe mistaken for banditta lone ranger....

Its getting home.

RIP

Its getting home
Make them kill themselves

What is the meaning of "one Hassan"? Is his full name a rocket science?

Insincerity and unability have finished Nigeria.

the soldier who shot is a hausa or fulani and he needs to be protected, his name cant be exposed just like that, you know prison is not meant for Hausa/fulanis

REST... It's time to relax
But it could have been prevented, I think argument caused it.

Who owns the two AK's in the picture?
I think that was what led to the killing
Probably the soldier thought he was a bandit, and lying about being a policeman.

Where's the witness? Or how did the police spokesperson know exactly what transpired between them? I don't agree he was shot unprovoked. Plus if those guns in the picture were found in his boot then there's more to the circumstances surrounding his death. Those are not police riffles. And why does he have two of such guns? Why were the guns concealed the way they were discovered.
Why's the car parked like that in the bush?

Hmmm

Our military are too lawless,you have identified the man as a police officer and still went ahead to shoot him on the head.The soldier should be arrested to put an end to this show of power.
