The family of a mobile police officer, Abdulrahman Auwal, reportedly killed along Kwi-Beco Road between Barkin Ladi and Riyom local government areas of Plateau State, on Monday, called on the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the officer\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

The family said several questions remained unanswered about the incident, including how the officer was attacked and why the motorcycle rider who was reportedly conveying him survived.<\/p>\n

Mr Auwal was reportedly killed while returning from a community service. He was buried at Zaria Cemetery in Jos on Saturday.<\/p>\n

His mother, Larai Musa, said she had accepted her son\u2019s death as the will of Allah but wants the police to establish what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are still unanswered questions surrounding the death of my son. He was reported to have been cut with a sharp object while on a motorcycle with an okada rider. My son was killed, and the okada rider is alive,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Ms Musa questioned the circumstances of the attack and urged the police to identify and question the commercial motorcycle rider.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe okada rider who reported the death should be able to explain where he took him to, who stopped them and who attacked only the passenger,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The family urged the police to provide a clear account of the incident and establish the circumstances that led to the officer\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

It also expressed disappointment that, four days after the incident, no police officers or colleagues of the deceased had visited to offer their condolences.<\/p>\n

The Plateau State Police Command had not issued an official statement on the incident as of the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

Attempts to get a reaction from the command were unsuccessful, as the police spokesperson could not be reached immediately by phone.<\/p>\n
