Eyewitness Amina Mohammed, a trader in the market, confirmed the shooting and subsequent death of the officer. She described the tense and chaotic scene following the shooting, noting that the officer was rushed to the hospital but later succumbed to his injuries.
“There was tension and confusion at the Terminus Market and Ahmadu Bello Way behind Zenith Bank in Jos North this morning at about 11:30 am,” Mohammed recounted. “The Jos Metropolitan Development Board task force officials and security agencies came to enforce the state law banning street hawking. In an attempt to maintain order, a Mobile Police Officer fired a shot, and the stray bullet hit his colleague, causing panic.”
Another trader, Haruna, attributed the officer’s death to hoodlums resisting the enforcement drive. “Many hoodlums were lurking around this morning. Suddenly, we heard a gunshot when the security agents were trying to disperse traders displaying their wares on the roadside. Unfortunately, the bullet hit one of the policemen who later died at the hospital,” Haruna said.
Plateau State Police Command Spokesperson, Alabo Alfred, confirmed the incident and stated that an investigation is underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. “We are aware of the incident at the Terminus Market. Right now, we are in the office of the Jos Metropolitan Development Board over the matter, and we are investigating it,” Alfred said.
