Another trigger-happy policeman has killed a nine-year-old boy, Jawad Ahmed-Rufai while injuring three others in Katsina State.
42-year-old Yusuf Ahmed-Rufai, father of the murdered child, in an interview with Punch on Saturday, recounted how his son, Jawad, was killed and three others injured by a trigger-happy policeman he identified as Sergeant Nura.
Ahmed-Rufai explained that the incident occurred at Sabuwar Unguwar on Sunday, January 1, as the killer cop disrupted a pre-wedding party shooting.
“Jawad fell down after the bullet him. As I learnt, the bullet hit him from his back. It was the sympathisers who then carried him to the hospital where he died later,” Ahmed-Rufai said.
Jawad was not the only victim of the January 1 incident Ahmed-Rufai revealed.
Sporadic shots from the cop ripped the intestines of another victim, amputated another and broke the neck of another but they all survived.

“Jawad was the fourth person that the bullet hit on that day. There was a boy in our neighbourhood here. His name is Abdul Jamiu. A bullet cut his two fingers on the right hand.
“There was another boy whose neck was broken when the bullet hit him. The third boy had his intestines ripped open by the bullet. However, it was only Jawad that died. Jawad died vomiting blood,” Mr Ahmed-Rufai narrated.
