The Chief Provost of Nigerian Immigration Service, Imo State Command, Okiemute Mrere, has been assassinated.

Mrere was murdered on Saturday night on Owerri- Port Harcourt Road in Owerri, our correspondent learnt on Monday.

A senior officer of NIS, who confirmed to our correspondent, said the slain officer’s corpse was discovered in a bush on Sunday morning.

Mrere was riding a Hilux van belonging to NIS when he was allegedly waylaid, shot and killed.

The source told our correspondent that the assailants did not take the victim’s service pistol as it was found on him when his corpse was discovered, the next day.

The official Hilux van that he was riding when he was attacked was riddled with bullet holes, our correspondent learnt.

The source said, “The chief provost of Nigerian Immigration Service, Imo State Command, Okiemute Mrere, has been assassinated. He was killed on Saturday night. He was riding in his official Hilux van when he was attacked, shot and killed.

“His corpse was discovered the next day which was on Sunday morning. Nothing was taken from him, not even his service pistol. His vehicle was riddled in bullets holes. The command is quiet. There is panic as officers are dumbfounded by this tragic development.”

The command’s Public Relations Officer, Winifred Ogu, refused to take several calls put to her telephone by our correspondent.

She had yet to respond to a text message sent to her as of the time of filing this report but a senior officer who preferred anonymity confirmed the murder to our correspondent.

The state Commissioner of Police, Abutu Yaro, told our correspondent on Monday morning that, “I do not have the brief”.

If those killings get to ur doorstep u won't be saying nonsense. Continue to kill people as u like and wait for nemesis in coming months, You will all pay for it if it later turn to terrorism. Those of you that are ignorant of history should quickly do ur thorough research and see how terrorism started in the North, When you ignites fire, you can only see how the fire started but you can see how long it will escalate. UGM started by killing Policemen b4 they started attacking Inec offices then to Individuals. It was Gulak and former chief justice of Enugu state yesterday and today it's Immigration provost wen it turns to suicide bombing yer eyes will open and I will see who will quench it for you. It's ur Land and ur region, keep on applauding them and wait for the nemesis. I don't knw the joy u are deriving in applauding gun men they are killing people for fun, I just don't understand..

Which Politics of betterment or hatred for government reach this level. Imagine the agony the family of the officer will be going through now moreover the useless APC government is the main problem of this issue, Obj locked up Gani Adams during OPC unrest during his days which is fellow Yoruba man but Buhari is deodorizing his fellow Fulani people when this madness started, if government has taken drastic step to curb the babaric act of Fulani terrorist all these nonsense couldn't av started. It's a shame that Buhari is a Rtd Major General.
