Port Harcourt – A police officer serving in  Rivers State police command on Tuesday committed suicide in Port Harcourt.

Mr. Ben Ugwuegbulam, the command’s spokesman, confirmed this development, saying that the said officer shot himself on the chest, after he had shot and wounded an Inspector.

He said the late corporal and the inspector he shot were both on the same beat at the Platgeria Company on Plot 278, Trans Amadi area of the Port Harcourt metropolis.

Ugwuegbulam explained that the two were rushed to Teme Hospital, Port Harcourt, but the Corporal died later, having fought the hospital personnel while refusing treatment.

The spokesman said the Inspector was responding to treatment, while the AK-47 rifle used by the Corporal has
been recovered.

Ugwuegbulam, who said that no [b]misunderstanding [/b]was noticed between the officers before the incident occurred, added that the State Criminal Investigating Department was investigating the incident.

The late Corporal whose name Ugwuegbulam did not disclose was attached to “B” operations. (NAN)

which other misunderstanding could lead to shooting each other if not bribe sharing, how easy was it for the guy to shoot himself on the chest with AK 47, na wa o, other officers present should be questioned

A sad event.

How can someone want to commit suicide and shoot himself in the chest. Let the inspector come out and say the truth. I suspect the inspector killed him and injured himself for coverup

JUST A THOUGHT!!!

A sad event.

really a sad one!

This story is incomplete. I have read it somewhere. Poster nawaa for you o. The corporal and the inspector was quarreling over the sharing formula that the inspector used. It was in the cause of the quarrel that the corporal shot the inspector on the leg and also shot himself. Shameless Nigerian police!

n P’Harcourt, Police Corporal Shoots Inspector over ‘Sharing Formula’, Commits Suicide

It was a day of rage in the Rivers State Command of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). A corporal broke a tradition. The tradition of taking what the superior offers without questions. There was a little “gift”, not bribe or highway collections from motorists.

A gift. A customer who came to a generator-selling company at Trans Amadi Industrial Layout, Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, had dashed the policemen guarding the company some money. After the policemen had greeted the customer with such clichés like “your boys are loyal”, Öga we are here-o”, “shun sir (with straightened arms) etc.

When the customer left, the policemen -- three in all -- had to share the cash gift among themselves. As it is, the inspector, being the most senior of the team, had to do the sharing.

But after the sharing, the corporal, name withheld, not only grumbled quietly, he complained about the sharing formula used by the inspector. In his opinion, the sharing ratio was unfair and undermined his share greatly. In his protest, he threatened to reject his share if the inspector did not review the sharing formula.

The latter refused, insisting that he was showing acts of insubordination for a corporal to be questioning the judgement of an inspector. Soon after, a push came to a shove. And an argument ensued. The altercations began to attract the attention of passers-by and those nearby. As the argument increased, their voices also got louder and louder. Tension began to build up. Efforts by some to intervene only worsened the tempo of the brewing feud.

In no time, the anger of the corporal boiled over. He removed his AK 47 rifle which had hung on his right shoulder all the while. Nobody expected what followed next. Not even the inspector. The only thing that confirmed the unexpected was when the gun roared and a hot bullet flew out of it, hitting, thankfully, the inspector on his legs. The corporal aimed at the legs, perhaps to just disable him. The gunshot changed the atmosphere, as many bystanders fled the scene, for their dear lives.

Still raging with seething anger, the corporal drank in the implication of his lethal anger. But he would rather not give anybody any opportunity to be mocked, harassed, questioned or arraigned, not sure whether his victim would survive or die from the gunshot.

He chose to take the lead. To die before any other harm will come to him. He raised the gun again, pointed the nuzzle at his chest, and as many shouted “hei, hei, hei”, he pulled the trigger, and the hot bullet obediently rushed out, hitting the corporal right at the middle of his chest. He fell. The gun also fell. But for a while, nobody drew near. Everybody, it seemed had his/her heart in his or her mouth.

Everybody stood transfixed, wondering how a little gift could draw such hot blood.

They were rushed to the Teme Hospital run by the Medicine Sans Frontieres (MSF) at Mile One in the town. Police authorities who sent text messages to journalists on the incident said the corporal refused medical treatment. He was said to have fought medical personnel who wanted to treat him. Left to his deadly wish, the corporal soon bled to death, right there in the hospital.

Commenting on the incident, the state’s police spokesperson, Ben Ugwuegbulem, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), said the corporal, whom he described as a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) committed suicide.

Ugwuegbulem wrote in a text message to journalists that: “At about 09:00 hours a police corporal attached to B Operations department while on duty at Plot 278 Plantgeria Coy, Trans Amadi Industrial Layout, Port Harcourt, shot and wounded on the leg an Inspector of Police working with him in the same beat.”

The spokesperson said that there was no history of acrimony or animosity between the duo before the incident.

As at last night, THISDAY gathered that the shot inspector was responding to treatment. But determined to unravel the full details of the unfortunate incident, the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has commenced investigation into the incident.

Meanwhile, the AK47 rifle used by the NCO to commit the crime has been recovered.

The state command which still appeared in shock over the incident said, last night, that it would release the identity of those persons involved in the “show of shame”.

Efforts to trace the home and background of the dead corporal was unsuccessful as his identity remained shielded by the police authorities, his body had been deposited at the morgue as at last night. via news.google

Sharing formula equation did not balance.
Damned greedy cops.

How possible is it for someone to shoot himself in the chest with AK47?
How possible is it for someone fired in the chest with AK at that close range to suvived and fought medics only to die later?
I smell shit in this saga.
Possible senario is that he fired at the Inspector with the AK and Inspector fired back with his pistol.

Only that inspector can give the true picture of what transpired between them now that the corporal is dead.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah see them who to trust?

our men in dark brown, sorry men in black or blue and black which ever colour, have started this their cock & bull super story again! a police man shot an inspector, shot himself with an AK47 on the "chest", faught off the hospital personel and died ! wao!

Yeah right. The inspector probably shot the poor guy. Upon realizing his crime, shot himself somewhere safe and comes up the cook and bull story.

gulfer:

beats me too

It's more like the INSPECTOR shot the CORPORAL on the chest and then later shot himself on the leg. Who agrees?

Ijogz K:

AK47 for chest Haba maka Y?

It's more like the INSPECTOR shot the CORPORAL on the chest and then later shot himself on the leg.

AGREED !!!!!!

alot of questions needed to be asked. av been trying to picture how the dead dude could shot himself at the chest .and also have strength to fight hospital officials. beside he did not resist being taken to hospital. i fail to believe the two officers were alone. i also wont be surprised if the inspector was later tried for murder. so conflicting info joor

Very sensible post, truly something is fishy.

its more of a two fighting scenario

The police are now also turning on themselves. The Nigerian police case is serious. It is a useless sector of the government.

The inspector should be interrogated seriously, and the bullets in the corporal's chest should be confirmed whether it is that of AK-47 or pistol.

The fingerprints on the AK-47 should also be checked.
