The Plateau State Police Command on Saturday
confirmed the killing of a 23-year-old man during
the governorship and house of assembly elections
in Jos, identified simply as Salim. “One Salim was
shot dead by unknown security operatives during
the elections.
“We are not sure of further details but we shall try
to find out the circumstances and get back to
you,” Mr Emmanuel Abu, Spokesman of the
command, told the pressmen.
Sources told newsmen that Salim ran into the
voting arena at the Ali Kazaure Polling Unit,
grabbed the ballot box and attempted to run
away with it.
The source said that security operatives keeping
vigil at the polling unit, ran after Salim, arrested
him and hurled him into their security vehicle, a
Toyota Hilux.
However, as they made to move the vehicle,
Salim jumped out and started running. The
security operatives were said to have ran after
Salim and shot him dead.
