    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.
    Residents who discovered the crime scene raised the alarm, prompting a swift response from police officers who quickly cordoned off the area.
    It was also learnt that the body of the commercial driver has been moved to the mortuary for possible autopsy to be carried out.
    The residents who got to the crime scene early suggest the victim may have been shot at close range by suspected armed robbers, possibly in an attempt to steal his car or other personal valuables.
    Reacting to the incident, a senior police officer who spoke on condition of anonymity at the crime scene confirmed that a full-scale investigation is underway.
    “We are working to gather all necessary intelligence. Forensic teams have been deployed to the scene and we are also liaising with the Bolt company to retrieve trip data that may help in tracking down the culprits,” the source said.
    The Police Spokesman in Bayelsa ASP Musa Mohammed confirmed the incident and noted that investigation was already underway..
