According to reports, Badapba insisted that the APC would win the election.
The argument prompted the officer to shoot Badapba in the shoulder.
Currently, the victim is being treated at the Bingham University Teaching Hospital Jos.
DSP Alabo Alfred, the spokesman for the state police command, stated that the arrested officer’s firearm had been recovered and he was being held for disciplinary action.
Alfred stated, “The circumstances that led to the recalcitrant officer’s use of a firearm to inflict gunshot wounds were not consistent with his professional vocation, but rather were motivated by spite, which is contrary to the attributes of a Nigerian police officer.
“In order to prevent the officer from evading justice, he was arrested, his weapon was recovered, and he has been detained for disciplinary action since then.”
