LEADERSHIP learnt that the police fired several shots into the air and the bullets mistakenly hit the victims, killing them instantly.

“The victims were innocent and passersby who did not have any quarrel with the police officer. I suspect the officer ran amok,” an eyewitness stated.

The shooting caused panic among residents and traders in the busy commercial area.

This led to the police barricading the road, for fear of reprisal attack by families and friends of the victims whose identities were yet to be known.
