NGO Decries Tricyclist’s Killing By Police
The Southern Nigeria People’s Mandate (SNPM), a Non-Govermental Organisation (NGO) has condemned the killing of a commercial tricycle operator, popularly known as Keke Napep rider, by a trigger-happy policeman in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The President of the group, Mr Augustine Chukwudum, said this in a statement.
According to him, it was a shame that the trigger-happy policeman wasted a young-man’s life for refusing to give him a bribe of N100.
He noted that it was unfortunate that demanding for bribe had become culture of some policemen.
According to him, the worst part of it is that some policemen carry out this unwholesome act with impunity, since it is believed that they have the backing of some senior police officers who they give returns.
