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.
