Ekiti State Commissioner of Police Mr. Bello Ahmed, on monday disclosed that the mobile policeman who shot former house of Reps Member Opeyemi Bamidele and five others has been dismissed from service to pave the way for his trial in court as soon as he is discharged from the hospital.
The trigger happy officer opened fire at the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat during the welcome rally held for the governorship flag bearer, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.
The police boss who spoke on a live programme on Channels Television said that the politician who brought the policeman to Ekiti State from his Lagos base has been detained and he is being grilled by interrogators.
