An operative of the Department of State Service, DSS, has allegedly shot at a tailor (male) and a girl in a market in the Garki 2 area of Abuja.
Gatekeepers News reports that a woman had invited a DSS operative to accost a tailor she had given clothes to work on, after having delayed the job for some time.
According to reports, in a bid to avoid being manhandled by the DSS operative, the tailor ran away but he was allegedly shot in the leg by the DSS operative, while a bullet also hit a girl nearby, injuring the two.
Consequently, the other tailors in the market descended on the DSS operative and beat him up, as well as the police outpost in the market after the police officers there came to the aid of the shooter.
Following this, the police reinforced and returned to the market, firing teargas to disperse the angry tailors.
Meanwhile, the FCT police command in a statement stated that normalcy has been restored to the area and weapons used during the altercation have been recovered.
