Alhaji Adamu Usman, the State Commissioner of Police, made the disclosure in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Minna on Friday.

”On Oct. 3, at about 13:30 hours three Fulani youths namely Malami Mohammed, Juli Musa and Dawa Ali of Oro village of Mariga Local Government Area riding on an unregistered Bajaj motor cycle were stopped by the Vehicle Inspection Officer but refused to stop.

”They were chased by the VIO and they ran into a moving trailer with registration No. FKJ 512 XW that was coming from Tegina- Kampani Bobi area. All of them were crushed by the trailer and died on the spot.

“On realising what he did, the deceased VIO ran towards Kampani Bobi Police outstation for safety. Unfortunately, he was pursued by irate mob and lynched,” the Commissioner said.

I heard police want to reform their own approach of policing... Better for them oo.

No one should talk law into their hands but what happens when overzealous officer sends one to an early grave?
