Family of policeman killed by colleagues calls for justice

Members of the family of Salvation Adaka, who was allegedly shot dead by his colleagues over N20,000 ‘largesse’ have called on the police authorities to prosecute the culprits. Mr. Adaka was allegedly shot dead on November 7 by three of his colleagues from the Agudama-Ekpetiama Police Division, Bayelsa State, with whom he was on a patrol duty as they argued over how they would share the N20,000 given to them by people organising a funeral in the area.

Joseph Yabefa, a representative from Adaka’s family, today revealed that the family had reeived an autopsy report which confirmed that the victim died from gunshots wound, with pieces of bullets found in his spinal cord.
