He appealed to the government to take serious action and ensure that the preparators of the act are arrested with a view to facing the full wrath of the law.

An eye witness, Mr Goodwin Onyeka, said he believes that it was the stray bullet from the police that killed the innocent trader.

Onyeka added that the incident created tension around the market as traders hurriedly closed their shops and ran for safety.

The police public relations officer in the Plateau State Command, Alfred Alabo confirmed the incident. He said, “I am just coming from the scene of the incident. Very soon I will issue a press statement concerning the incident.”
