Operatives of the Police Command in Bayelsa have evacuated remains of a Bolt driver shot dead on Friday morning at Samphino junction in Yenagoa.

The lifeless body of the middle-aged yet-to-be-identified driver was discovered early Friday morning inside his vehicle at the Samphino Road junction in the Kpansia suburb of Yenagoa.
