The source, while speaking on a popular radio station in Port Harcourt monitored by our correspondent on Saturday, said the situation caused the victim to come out of the bar, where he was with his family.
She alleged that the policeman shot at the deceased while he tried to drive out of the area with his family. The relative said, “The husband was inside the place and they heard the rancor; the noise outside, and then he came out. When he came out, he told the wife to look at this policeman when armed robbers came, he ran. Now that they have gone, he is back.
“As he made to drive off, the man came right in front of the car and shot through the windscreen and hit him on the chest. That was how the guy died.”All rights reserved.
