Not less than six mobile police officers have been killed by a police officer identified as Sergeant Bello in Maiduguri, Borno State capital.
According to sources that spoke with Daily Trust, the incident happened inside the police college quarters of Borno Police headquarters in Maiduguri.
A senior officer who spoke on the development disclosed that Sergeant Bello is currently being held at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
An unidentified family member who spoke on the incident said Bello had a misunderstanding with his wife and neighbours tried to intervene but he was not ready to settle the issue.
The source said, “He and his wife have been having issues for some time now; we tried to settle it amicably, but he refused.
“The wife told her parents that the sergeant assaulted her; she moved her things out of his house. The wife left due to severe maltreatment by her husband.
“He started shooting and threatened to kill everyone. Unfortunately, he shot people, but six mobile policemen died and two others are currently receiving treatment at Specialist Hospital.
“He razed down two blocks of eight rooms in the process and also shot his father-in-law.”
