A Nigerian police sergeant was sentenced to death for intentionally killing a student during a 2020 lockdown.
A Nigerian police sergeant, Ruya Auta, has been sentenced to death for the 2020 killing of University of Jos student Rinji Bala during a lockdown in Plateau State.
The court found him guilty of culpable homicide after determining he intentionally shot Bala, who was detained, beaten, and ordered to run before being fatally shot in the back.
Prosecution evidence, including witness testimony and medical reports, contradicted Auta’s claim of accidental discharge.
The verdict, delivered by Plateau State High Court Chief Justice David Mann, emphasized accountability and the rule of law.
Bala’s father said justice was served and hoped the ruling would deter future police misconduct.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about lethal force and accountability within Nigeria’s security forces.
