According to Amnesty International: "On 6 June 2012, allegedly responding to a Boko Haram attack in an area some 5km away, a police officer from Danda police station, Maiduguri, began firing tear gas and live ammunition and ordered people to go inside their home and remain there. A neighbour who witnessed the incident told Amnesty International: “Alhaji Hussaini Sha’abu (65) entered his house when the police started shooting but could not see his children. His wife told him they were over the road at his brother’s house. Alhaji Hussaini Sha’abu telephoned his brother to confirm the children were there but the call would not connect. Worried about his children, he decided he would go and find out. As he walked outside there were still a few police around. Without warning and without saying anything one of the policemen who was approximately 50m away aimed and shot him. They just left him there. Once the police left then we could get to him and take him to hospital... He was alive up to the following day.” The community elders made a complaint to the District Police Officer (DPO). The DPO met with them and said he is looking into the matter. They also sent a letter to the Inspector General of Police but received no response." ^[+]
