The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has refuted the allegation that a policeman attached to Femi Gbajabiamila killed a newspaper vendor in Abuja.
The incident occurred within the Three Arm Zone on Thursday when the House of Representatives Speaker’s convoy was on the move.
Gbajabiamila has confirmed the death, disclosing that the officer who fired the fatal shot has been suspended.
In a statement sent to newsmen on Friday, ASP Mariam Yusuf, Public Relations Officer, FCT Command, clarified that the security agent was not a police operative.
“Contrary to the misleading information, preliminary investigation into the unfortunate incident reveals that the security aide who shot at the vendor is not a member of the Nigeria Police Force.”
Yusuf added that the Commissioner of Police in FCT, Bala Ciroma has ordered an investigation into the incident.
The spokesperson commiserated with family and friends of the deceased.
The statement assured that the police will be lucid in its investigation and ensure the findings are made public.
The Speaker has been exposed that he retained the services of the Boko Haram terrorists hehired to protect him during his election. This act has exposed the speaker as one of those fornenting unrest. These were the fifth columnist security apparatus used to attempt to destabilise the #EndSARs protest to give it a bad name. The Speaker is complicit in this murder. These Speaker's security were part of those we observed in Alausa in Ikeja and parts of Abuja.
