A mobile policeman identified as
Corporal Tanko Usman has allegedly
committed suicide by shooting himself
with his service rifle.
The incident reportedly occurred on
Saturday in an uncompleted building
along Eastern Bye-pass in Minna, the
Niger state capital.
It was learnt that the 30 year old
policeman, who until his death, was
attached to Squadron 12 Police Mobile
Force PMF Minna, shot himself in the
wee hours of Saturday with a AK 47
rifle shortly after he left his duty post
in one of the second generation banks
in the city.
He was said to have parked his
motorcycle by the roadside and walked
briskly into the uncompleted building
where he later committed suicide.
According to The Nation, unsuspecting
people around saw the armed Police
Corporal walk into the uncompleted
building but were few minutes later
attracted by the loud sound of gunshot.
According to one of the men around,
who spoke in confidence, “Nobody
suspected that something awful was in
the offering when the Corporal entered
the uncompleted building, infact nobody
challenged him, it was the gun shot that
attracted us and when we got in we
found the dead body of the Policeman.
“We later reported the incident at
Maitunmbi Police division from where we
gathered the police mobile squadron was
contacted and some of their (MOPOL)
men came to evacuate the body”.
Confirming the incident, the state Police
Public Relations Officer, Richard Adamu
Oguche (ASP) said the commander
squadron Mopol 12 and the Divisional
Crime officer (DCO) of Maitumbi division
visited the scene of the incident and
coordinated the evacuation of the
remains of Corporal Usman.
According to Oguche, “The fact is that
this morning there was a report that a
man suspected to be mobile policeman
allegedly shot himself in an
uncompleted building at Eastern bye-
pass and it was discovered he is from
12 squadron Police Mobile force PMF, he
shot himself with his service rifle which
was also recovered and given back to
the squadron commander”.
The corpse has already been deposited
