Tuesday, September 2, 2025 -The Kaduna State Police Command has arrested three of its personnel for allegedly shooting dead a 20-year-old bus conductor during a routine stop-and-search in Igabi Local Government Area.
Sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident occurred on
Sunday night after a distress call was received from Barau Dikko Teaching
Hospital.
According to the sources, one Abdulrashid Dayyabu of Maje
Village, Maraban Jos, had rushed to the hospital in a white J5 bus
(registration number LSD 190 YE) with a passenger who sustained a gunshot wound
to the chest.
The victim, later identified as Nasir Abdulhakim, was
confirmed dead while receiving treatment.
Preliminary investigation indicated that the bus was flagged
down by officers of Millennium City Police Division along Kujama road, but the
driver allegedly tried to evade arrest, leading to a chase. In the process, one
of the officers fired at the vehicle, striking the conductor in the chest.
The remains of the deceased have been released to the family
for burial according to Islamic rites, following the family’s request that no
autopsy be conducted.
Police authorities confirmed that an investigation is
ongoing.
