The incident occurred on Tuesday around 2 pm in Burra town, Ningi Local Government Area.

According to an anonymous eyewitness, the deceased officer, Aliyu Abubakar Chiroma, and the suspect, Kabiru Abubakar, were known to be close friends within the facility.

The dispute reportedly began when Chiroma brought his lunch, and Kabiru demanded to share it, which escalated into a heated argument.

The Public Relations Officer of the correctional centre, Aminu Ahmed, confirmed the incident to journalists, clarifying that it took place outside the correctional premises. He added that the deceased, Chiroma, was from Giade LGA, while the suspect, Kabiru, hails from Dass LGA. Both officers were assigned to the Burra Correctional Centre.
