“Unauthorised Celebratory GUNFIRE”: Police Authority Fires Three Officers
By Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr.
The Nigerian Police force has dismissed police escorts attached to a famous praise-singer of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dauda Adamu Kahutu Rarara over what was described as “unauthorised celebratory gunfire.”
Recall, the policemen, Inspr. Dahiru Shuaibu, Sgt. Abdullahi Badamasi, and Sgt. Isah Danladi attached to the singer in a viral video were seen shooting in the air indiscriminately while the singer was heading towards his parked SUV after distributing Ramadan packages in his Kahutu hometown in Katsina.
The force had arrested the men, saying they would appear before a disciplinary panel at the Force Headquarters.
In a statement shared via the police Twitter handle on Thursday, the force announced that the policemen have been discharged for the offenses of discreditable conduct and abuse of power.
