…CP orders investigation

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, CP John Abang has ordered a thorough investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the killing of a yet to be identified young man by a Policeman and subsequent disturbance of public peace in Onitsha on Tuesday.

The Police Public Relations Officer of the command, SP Haruna Mohammed narrated that trouble started when some miscreants attempted to disarm Policemen at the new Aba park, Owerri road when Police patrol team went on enquiry following intelligence report that two armed robbery suspects who escaped from lawful custody were seen hiding at the park.

He said that the hoodlums who emerged from an uncompleted building near the park descended on the Policemen in a bid to overpower them and snatch their rifles adding that in the process, one of the Policemen resorted to use his firearm and injured one of the attackers whose identity was yet to be ascertained after firing twice in the air to scare them proved abortive.

Mohammed added that the victim was rushed to Toronto hospital for medical attention but was certified dead by a medical doctor while receiving treatment.

“Following the incident, rampaging youths blocked Onitsha/Owerri road causing serious public nuisance and traffic congestions in the Area.

“Meanwhile, joint police patrol teams including Vigilante groups dispersed the rampaging youths, restored normalcy and cleared the road to enable free flow of traffic in the affected area.

“Consequently, seven persons sustained injuries and are currently receiving treatment at multi choice hospital Onitsha.

“The Commissioner of Police CP John B. Abang, fdc has ordered for a thorough investigation to ascertain circumstances surrounding the incident in order to bring perpetrators to justice”, he stated.
