Policeman kills bus driver in Delta

A police sergeant, identified as Doctor Ogheneovo, attached to the Effurun Roundabout park of Goddy Agofure Transport Company, has reportedly shot a commercial bus driver dead.

The Nation gathered that the killer policeman shot his victim, identified as Ese Eruotor, for allegedly stopping to pick a passenger close to the Agofure park he guards.

Ogheneovo, who was said to have been arrested and locked up at the Ebrumede Police Station, is said to have been posted to the transport company from the Ughelli Police Station.

An eyewitness, who relayed the incident to the Nation in Warri on Sunday evening, said it all happened on Friday when the policeman pursued the victim from Effurun Roundabout to DSC Roundabout before catching up with him and shooting him dead.

The eyewitness, Akpokona James, said “the driver was said to have parked in front of the Agofure park at Roundabout to pick passengers. The policeman was said have pursued him from there with a Camry, caught up with him at DSC Roundabout and shot him”.

The victim, Ese Eruotor, is the first son of his father, Matthew and left behind a four month-old baby. The corpse of the 23-year-old driver has been deposited at a morgue within the Effurun area.
