Nwaneri was said to have fired several gunshots into the air as last respect for their fallen colleague. The bullets accidentally hit a 27-year-old woman who was also at the event to commemorate with the family and also a 7-months-old baby.

According to report the woman died on the spot, while the baby is currently in a life-threatening condition at the hospital.

The suspect said the unfortunate incident was a result of accidental discharge.

“I was firing into the air and was surprised when people started shouting that my gun had killed somebody. I believed that it was one of the cartridges that got hooked in the gun that hit the woman after it exploded. I am deeply saddened over the incident.” he said.

Spokesperson of the Edo State Police Command, SP Bello Kontongs, who confirmed the arrest, said the suspect would be charged to court for murder.

“Most of the vigilante members should be careful with weapons.” he added.
