The Police Command in Bayelsa has confirmed the shooting of a driver working with Peace Mass Transit Company and one other person by a policeman in the state. “The policeman opened fire when the driver parked beside the bank to discharge a passenger. “The trouble started when the policeman got angry because the driver stopped the bus in front of the bank he was guarding,” Edet said. A member of staff of the Peace Mass bus, who refused to mention his name, described the shooting as totally unnecessary. The staff said the driver was behind the wheels of his vehicle when the policeman released the shot.
