The culprit opened fire at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat during the welcome rally held for the governorship flag bearer, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
The Police have sacked the trigger-happy mobile policeman who shot former House of Representatives
member Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele and five other party faithful last Friday.
Bamidele and five other
injured party members were hospitalised. But, the former federal lawmaker has
been relocated to Lagos for post-surgery treatment.
The officer was battered by
angry party members who smashed his head, inflicted injuries on him and
dispossessed him of his service rifle.
Ekiti State Commissioner of
Police Mr Bello Ahmed, disclosed that the mobile policeman has been dismissed
from service to pave the way for his trial in court as soon as he is discharged
from the hospital.
The police boss who spoke
on a live programme on Channels Television said that the politician who brought
the policeman to Ekiti State from his Lagos base has been detained and he is
being grilled by interrogators.
Ahmed said the politician
will also be arraigned in court as soon as the Police conclude their
investigation into the shooting incident.
