A Correctional Officer attached to the Burra Correctional Centre in Bauchi State has reportedly killed a fellow officer following a minor dispute over food.

The tragic incident occurred on 17th of September, around 2pm in Burra town, Ningi Local Government Area.

According to an eyewitness who wished to remain anonymous, the deceased officer, Aliyu Abubakar Chiroma, and his colleague, Kabiru Abubakar, were known to be close friends within the correctional facility.

The altercation reportedly began when Chiroma brought his lunch, and Kabiru insisted on eating, which led to a heated argument between the duo.
