Man dies in river after jumping in to escape police raid

Report says that the deceased was washing his clothes by the bank of the river located in the area of the state when he heard gunshots from the police.
Reacting out of fear, he jumps into the river and drowned.
, the state Police Public Relations Officer has defended the force, stating that the police officers who shot into the air were carrying out their duties.
Nigerians generally nurse a fear for the police due to their violent ways of executing their duties.
Most people have different tales of their encounter with the law enforcement officers who by default should be protecting them.
Such protection has been lacking on many number of occasions.
