A tragic incident has unfolded at the Burra Correctional Centre in Bauchi State, where a correctional officer reportedly killed his colleague following a minor dispute over food.

The unfortunate event took place on Tuesday around 2 p.m. in Burra town, Ningi Local Government Area. According to a witness who requested anonymity, the officers involved, Aliyu Abubakar Chiroma and Kabiru Abubakar, were known to be close friends before the altercation.
