A security operative was captured on video sh00ting a pr0tester in Azare, Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State, on Monday.
In the video, the unidentified pr0tester is seen pinned to the ground by several individuals who were t0rturing him. The pr0tester, lying on the ground, was repeatedly struck by two or three people. Moments later, an officer standing by a white Toyota Hilux van approached the v!ctim. After hitting him twice, the officer aimed his rifle at the pr0tester and pulled the trigger, causing the crowd to yell as the officer walked away without looking back.

A resident of Azare, who wished to remain anonymous, claimed the dec£ased was one of the h00dlums arr£sted by the police, although this could not be independently verified. As of reporting, Bauchi Police Command spokesperson SP Ahmed Wakil had not responded to inquiries about the k!lling.
