Plateau Killer Cop On The Run With Rifle The Jos Police Command have yet to ascertain the whereabouts of a riot police sergeant attached to the Special Task Force in Jos, who allegedly shot one of his colleagues to death. The yet -to- be identified sergeant is also alleged to have absconded with his rifle. The sergeant, who served in MOPOL 4 Ibadan, before he was deployed to the task force, was said to have shot his colleague, from MOPOL 23 Lagos and two others, in the early hours of Saturday in Jol, Riyom Local Government area of Plateau state. While the two others are currently receiving treatment at Vom Christian Hospital, the former was unlucky as he allegedly died on the spot. A police source told PUNCH Metro on the condition of anonymity that the killer cop was still on the run with the rifle assigned to him, an AK 47rifle. The source said, “Our worry now is the use to which he might put the rifle to; but all efforts are being made to apprehend him.” The body of the slain policeman was reportedly taken to STF headquarters on Saturday. STF spokesman, Capt. Salisu Mustapha, confirmed the incident. He said, “All I know is that as of yesterday (Saturday), the alleged killer had not been brought to the headquarters (of STF). In a related development, a pastor with COCIN Church in Gwoza, Borno State, has raised the alarm over alleged threats that he had received from an unknown GSM number. According to the Executive Director of Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark Lipdo, the caller was said to have threatened the pastor’s life. Lipdo said, “The pastor on Saturday, received threat messages via texts in Hausa and calls from an unknown GSM number, suspected to be that of a Boko haram member. “The caller told the pastor to consider himself terminated because his blood was no longer forbidden to them.” -Punch
