When his colleague attempted to disarm him, he began exhibiting some behaviors, and began shooting sporadically.

One civilian died instantly, while two others sustained injuries and are currently receiving medical treatment.

 

Also confirming the incident, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Irene Ugbo, said the officer in question has been taken into custody for investigations.

She said;

The report we received is that the said inspector had returned from duty.

Normally, policemen work through the night and are required to surrender their rifles at the station.

 

“However, he suddenly began behaving irrationally and speaking incoherently.

 

“He was supposed to surrender his rifle, log out, and leave the station, but instead, he started acting strangely, and officers around tried to calm him down.

 

“Then, he just took the rifle and began shooting sporadically. That was how the bullets hit three persons—one has been confirmed dead, while two others are receiving treatment.

 

“We had to contain the situation because the youths in the area attempted to burn down the police station. However, we have restored calm, and even the AIG is here
