Call for Justice: Extra-Judicial Killing of Civilian by Police Inspector in Yobe State
By: Zagazola Makama
A tragic case of alleged extra-judicial killing has been reported in Yobe State, sparking outrage and a call for swift justice. On Sunday, 29th September 2024, Inspector Mohammed Bulama of the Mopol Police Squad in Damaturu, was involved in the fatal assault of an innocent civilian, AbdulMalik Dauda Galadima, in the Zango community, Nasarawa ward.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred around 5:05 PM when Inspector Bulama approached Galadima in the CMC area and demanded the sum of N200. When the deceased explained that he had no money on him, the police officer reportedly became aggressive and proceeded to assault him.
In a horrifying escalation, Bulama allegedly slashed Galadima’s neck and stabbed him in the chest, leading to his death on the spot.
This shocking act of violence has left the Zango community and the entire Nasarawa ward reeling, with residents calling for immediate accountability.
There is also an urgent call for the Yobe State Police Command and the Nigerian Police Force to take decisive action in bringing the responsible officer to justice and preventing future occurrences of such abuses of power.
As public anger mounts, human rights organizations have urged the authorities to ensure that AbdulMalik Dauda Galadima’s family receives justice, and that there is no impunity for this heinous act.
The police must take responsibility for the actions of their personnel and protect citizens, rather than subjecting them to senseless violence.
The community is calling on the Inspector General of Police, civil society organizations, and government officials to intervene and ensure that the law takes its course, preventing further abuse of power by security forces across the nation.
