A police officer has allegedly shot a yet-to-be identified motorcycle rider to death around Banana junction in Orlu, Imo state on Thursday, July 9.
WITHIN NIGERIA learnt that the motorcycle rider was stopped by the Police officer because he did not wear a face mask.
It was also learnt that the refusal of the motorcycle rider to give a N50 bribe to the police officer led to altercation between the duo.
