He said, “I got a distress call yesterday that a policeman had shot dead a 20-year-old young man at a checkpoint in Maiha.

“Upon inquiry, I learnt it was because the youth did not give N100 at the checkpoint.

“The boy was said to have been shot from behind while returning home from where he bought petrol.

“I was further informed that the police had made it mandatory for all commuters along that road to pay N100 before they are allowed access.

“I have informed the Commissioner of Police, Brigade Commander and the state governor of the incident.”
