The DPO sustained serious injury and was rushed to an undisclosed health institution in the State. Other victims who were also shot are also obtaining treatment in different locations in the area.An eyewitness said that over three persons were shot to death.“We wake up this morning to hear gunshot everywhere and some persons rushed and informed the Police. The DPO and others came with a view to salvaging the situation and stop the clash, but this was not possible.“In the process, our DPO was shot on the head. He narrowly escaped death. However, he was rushed to an undisclosed hospital.



I heard that he is recovering.“There is tension in the land. We don’t know who brought cultism to our area. This place has been peaceful until recent times when we started witnessing certain movements. We did not know that it will take this shape, may God help us,” he prayed.When contacted on phone on Friday, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Ms Irene Ugbo confirmed that the DPO was shot on the head.

The DPO and the boy are currently receiving treatment.“The DPO was going there to restore peace and bring the situation under control but the youths blocked him and in the process, he was shot on the head, that was what happened,” she stated.She further said that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Hafiz Inuwa had dispatched a team of policemen to the area to fish out those who shot the DPO.

Hope the DPO recovers speedily.

As per grown men that should be making money wasting their time and life on killing or getting killed, words can't describe your stupidity.

So long as innocent people are not touched, I hope all of you kill yourselves by yourselves make anyone no remain. At least help us delete your stupid heads so that we sane people can rest and go about our normal biz
