A dismissed police sergeant, James Imahalu, has been sentenced to death by hanging by a Port Harcourt High Court for killing a commercial driver over his refusal to pay a bribe of N100.

The Presiding Judge, Justice Elsie Thompson, while delivering her judgment, said evidence before the court showed that the sacked sergeant intentionally fired a shot at the commercial driver, Legbara David, at Whimpey Junction, Port Harcourt, in 2015.

Thompson described Imhalu as a serial trigger-happy policeman who should not be allowed to remain in society.

The prosecution counsel, Kingsley Briggs, said the judgement would serve as succour to the deceased’s family.
