A mob on Wednesday burnt the Igboukwu police station in Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State after policemen allegedly killed a motorcyclist.
Irate youths reportedly took to major streets, making bonfires and barricading the ever-busy Nnobi/Igboukwu/Ekwulobia Road to protest the murder.
A resident said: “The deceaed was riding about 8pm when he was stopped by some policemen who asked why he was riding after the 9pm time ban.
“The deceased said it was just past 8pm, and his response did not please the policemen who attempted to confiscate his bike while he resisted.
“Passers-by intervened and this caused an argument, resulting in the shooting of the deceased.
