Abuja Police Officer Arrested for Allegedly Shooting Resident to Death

 

 

Police authorities in Abuja have apprehended an officer following allegations of fatally shooting a resident in the area.

 

According to Josephine Adeh, the spokesperson of the FCT Police Command, the incident, described as “tragic and unprecedented,” led to the “untimely demise of one Oyebuchi Anene ‘m’ of Byazhin in Abuja” on May 22, 2024, around 9:45 pm.

 

Commissioner of Police in the FCT, Benneth Igweh, has ordered the DC Criminal Investigation Department to launch an immediate and discreet investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death.

 

“While the police officer responsible for the accidental discharge is in custody,” stated Adeh, “the CP expresses profound and heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family and the public at large.”

 

In condemning the “unprofessional and disheartening conduct of the police officer,” the commissioner assured both the family and the public of swift justice.
