A policeman has shot dead a woman in Tura, a suburb of
Bauchi State, throwing residents into deep mourning. The tragedy occurred at
the weekend at about 1pm.
The deceased who is said to be in her mid-30s, was reported
to be the girlfriend of the trigger happy policeman.
Trouble started for the deceased, Jamila Rahama, when the
policeman, simply called Abdul (aka Barrister) stormed a house in Tura after he
received a report that his best friend was sleeping with her there.
He was said to be infuriated following rumours that his
lover usually had a rendezvous with his friend.
An eyewitness who does not want his name in print, said the
policeman was bitter with the development, he stormed the house. He reportedly
shot and killed her instantly.

"After killing her, he left the house. He was later
arrested by the police," he said.
The landlord of the house was initially arrested, but
released on bail after nothing incriminating was found on him in connection
with Rahama's death.
"He heard news that she was sleeping with his friend.
She had a child for the policeman and he really loved her, but maybe things
fell apart between them and she started dating someone and that provoked
him," another source said.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Bauchi State command,
Mr Haruna Mohammed, confirmed the incident to newsmen in his office yesterday.
Mohammed, a Deputy Superintendent, declined to give further
details, saying the command was investigating the incident
