There was pandemonium on Wednesday when gunmen shot a police sergeant, Loveday Obilonu, dead at Okwuuratta in Owerri North Council Area.

Obilonu attached to the Department of Operations of the Police Command headquarters in Owerri, was shot dead at Okwuuratta road of Chukwuma Nwoha Road, Owerri, the state capital.

His corpse was evacuated to Aladinma morgue in Owerri by his elder cousin, Val Okara, with the aid of the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Orji Divisional Police Headquarters.

His corpse was lying inside the gutter as at the the time his cousin and police operatives arrived with an ambulance and evacuated him.

Okara told our correspondent the killing of his relative was suspicious.

He said the slain cop’s two phones had been taken to his wife.

He said he suspected Obilonu was assassinated, urging the police to painstakingly investigate the murder incident.

“I suspect that my younger cousin was assassinated because no less than five bullets were released on his head. He was shot dead inside the gutter, raising suspicion that it might be an assassination.

The police should do a thorough investigation.

“He was my very beloved cousin. He was married with four children and I am pained about his death because he left a very young family.

“I am his marriage god father. He had a very loving wife and I do not know what his wife and children will do now. This is indeed very regrettable.”


He added: “An unexpended bullet was found inside the gutter where his corpse was lying.

“There is every suspicion that it was a murder incident. The murder case has been incidented at the Orji Divisional Police headquarters.”

Police spokesperson, Bala Elkana, said he had not been briefed.

He promised to get back to our correspondent but was yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

Meanwhile, there is tension in Owerri metropolis as residents scampered for cover over sporadic shootings around Ikenegbu layout and Cathedral road Owerri, Imo State Tuesday evening.

Douglas Road was also reported to have been enveloped in fear with sustained gunshots by unknown persons

The residents of Orji area of Owerri metropolis also narrated how suspected fleeing gunmen abandoned a Hilux van in the middle of the road and disposed a commercial driver of his mini bus without any harm.


According to an eyewitness, who simply gave his name as David, said the incident occurred around 7:30 pm on Tuesday.

“Nobody was harmed as they appeared as though they were fleeing the small bus to disguise themselves,” he said.

IG oya go and collect gun and smoke the gunmen out ursef,,no just dey ur Ac fitted office dey issue empty threat.

I think it's time for both parties to make peace the governors should organize amnesty for ESN and ugm so peace can reign

This is a very sad time we have at hand in Igboland.
And to think some people will come here to praise and Jubilate over this senseless killings ��.

Hmmm...

RIP Sergent.... Killed by the very people he has protected over the years

Fulanis using Ibo rank and file's life to play games with ESN / UGM

Soon a signal message would come from headquarters transferring more Ibos to replace dead Ibo police rank and file, while Fulanis get posted as officers giving orders

He's a policeman. He has many enemies.
Another useless human rights abuser taken off the street.
Mfk met his end in a gutter

Another tragedy

I thought ESN was created for the protection of Igbos by chasing aware herdsmen from the bush but unfortunately I have neither heard nor red of d herdsmen death rather all we read online this days is death of officers and innocent civilians

Igbos think before you start defending and celebrating d atrocities of d UGM just d way Northerners were celebrating nd cheering on BH until it down on them that BH agenda is for destruction of the North

Where was your emotional tantrum when police/soldiers were killing these same people?

I hope the killers get caught and destroyed. Children of demons .

You go ask them why they were created.

But you can't be defending Herdsmen against the helpless people and expect them to keep quiet.

There is no sensible person that will not frown at the way the evil fg treated peaceful protesters.
But does that makes this right.??
Do you guys even understand that this situation is a very bad development dat can create an unwelcome atmosphere in the SE.
One of the reasons we keep having Northerners troop into Igboland is bcus of insecurity and unrest.
What is your plan for the innocent ones in all this show of shame.
I have my reasons for saying the people celebrating this killings are not Igbo.
Even ipob or massob that were brutalized will do everything not to be tagged with this barbaric act.
E get why.

Lol help me ask these fools

When CSP Nwafor was busy gunning down unarmed civilians and extracting their internal organs these retārds had nothing to say...their animalistic brains has quickly forgotten how James Nwafor and scores of uniformed murderers like him escaped punishment through the connivance of the Nigerian government

I hate Nigerian police

When you were rejoicing over the killings of these armless protesters by the Army and police back in 2017,you forgot they had families as well and you forgot they were dead men.
Now their families & well wishers are avenging the death of the loved ones who were victims of the Fulani soldiers and police and you are here crying upandan.
Ofcourse we know who you are and your propaganda is forever stale...

Nnamdi Kanu is the one that's using his IPOB, ESN and Unknown Gunmen too kill IGBOS in the EAST.

Where is CSP Nwafor, please? Do you remember his crime? Is he not an Igbo? Did he not commit his crime against his fellow Igbos?

That's how the unknown gunmen think they can react to police murderous activities.

Like Seun Kuti would say, the Poor's response to oppression can be different from the Rich's response to same.

The police should ask themselves if they had been fair to this people and protective of their interests before now.

I don't like people who keep jumping and scaling through the onus of a discussion.

Those murdered in cold blood by the police, how many of them are guilty?

Can you State the offences they committed to deserve murder by the police?

Guy please � don't come close to my mention again in your entire life.
I will mark your moniker so I can also avoid you.
Going back and forth without answering the main focus of a discussion irritates me ��

You are the one suffering from limited understanding.

You can't murder unarmed civilians with impunity and not expect your organisation to be paid back in your own coin.
