A police officer simply identified as Sergeant Akpoboloukeme, has allegedly stabbed his colleague identified as Sgt Sapele Eyerindideke, to death in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
According to eye witness, the incident occurred on Thursday evening at Edepie axis of Yenagoa.
The cops were said to have engaged in a minor argument before Akpoboloukeme went berserk.
Daily Trust reports that the suspect fled the scene of the incident after noticing that the man he hacked didn’t survive.
He was later arrested at Glory Land drive, the exit route from Yenagoa.
It was gathered that the duo are cousins from Torubene community in Delta State.
According to friends of the two policemen, they attended a marriage ceremony at a popular hotel along INEC road in Yenagoa metropolis, where they had minor joke which the deceased cracked on the table they were seated.
But the killer officer who is said to be short tempered did not feel happy about the joke, which prompted him to react in a violent manner, before he finally stabbed his colleague to death.
