Elegbede at a police compound in Gashua town

called Kwaba was bitter that his superior officer
snatched a girl he has been befriending for the
past eight years.

divisional police officer rather than tell the as
sistant superintendent to leave the lady for him,
warned him that it is a disrespectful act to
befriend his superior officer’s woman.
“The corporal picked up his rifle and shot the
assistant superintendent five times on his chest
and he dropped down and was taken to a
hospital, where he was confirmed dead,” the
witness said.
Another witness said Corporal Bitrus has been
befriending the lady for over eight years, while
the superior officer was just posted to the
division.
“You know how ladies behave, the guy was a
senior officer and had a car, so she forgot all
the good time Bitrus had with her for over eight
years and started going out with Olosuji,” he
said
Reacting, Yobe State Police Commissioner,
Sanusi Ahmed Rufa’i, confirmed the incident and
said that the assistant superintendent was shot
dead by the corporal while trying to settle a
misunderstanding that ensued between the
corporal and his wife.

while the corpse is at the Gashua General
