Sunday Igwe, a 30 year old commercial bus driver has taken his own life over allegedly being subjected to police extortion.

In a note written by him before he decided to end his life, he wrote that he had taken insecticide because he could no longer bear the incessant arrests and extortions from the police.

Sunday, who took his life on Sunday, had been arrested by policemen in Sabon Tasha, Kaduna, and demanded N2,000 for his bus to be released, which he gave them. He was then arrested 2 hours later at Taiwo road over alleged wrongful parking and asked for N2,000 as bribe, which he could not afford.

He went to meet the owner of the bus who allegedly assured him that they would still collect the bus on Monday. But Sunday left to his house, where he wrote the shocking note and drank the local insect killer, ‘ota pia pia’, and died.

The Kaduna State Police have assured continued investigation into the matter, ensuring the public that the culprits, including the offending policemen would be brought to justice.
