A policeman, Corporal Michael Olujimi, was shot yesterday by unidentified gunmen.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Olujimi, who is battling for his life, was found in a pool of his blood, about 5:30 am.
It was gathered that Olujimi was to resume at the Okitipupa Police Division in Ondo State.
A sympathiser, who pleaded for anonymity, told NAN the gunmen mistook the policeman for someone else.
“He was going to the station when the incident happened. We met him in a pool of his blood and we called the station,” he said.
The Divisional Police Officer, Oluwole Ojo, said he could not comment as he had not been briefed.
