Osun Police dismiss officer for killing okada rider
Osun State Police Command has dismissed a policeman, identified as Sergeant Adamu Garba, for shooting to death a commercial motorcyclist, Saheed Olabomi in Oshogbo, the Osun State capital.
Saheed Olabomi was shot by a police officer in July, in the midst of a disagreement between the patrol team and a truck driver, which led to shootings, and the subsequent killing of Saheed Olabomi via a stray bullet.
A statement signed on Friday, by the Police Public Relations Officer, Yemisi Opalola, disclosed that Sergeant Adamu was dismissed from service having been found guilty after an orderly room trial.
