A businessman, identified as Ibeh Onyeka, has reportedly been shot dead by a bribe-seeking police officer in Asaba, Delta State.
It was gathered that the phone dealer was in company of his pregnant wife, who he married just three months ago, when he was shot on the head on Wednesday morning, April 5.
According to an eyewitness who spoke with newsmen, “He and his wife were on their way to work this morning when he was stopped by a team of police officers. They asked him for money and he gave them.
However, after a few mins drive, he ran into another set of police officers who demanded that he gives them money. They asked him for N100 but he said he doesn’t have any money with him because he had given his last cash to their colleagues.
One of the police officers cocked his gun and Onyi stepped on his accelerator but he was shot in the head before he could move.”
