There was confusion on Wednesday around Alaoji Area of Aba, the commercial hub of the state, when some police operatives reportedly opened fire on themselves. PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the shootout occurred between police patrol teams from Police Area Command in Aba, and another police team from Umuahia, the state capital.


Residents claimed the operatives appeared to have mistaken themselves for IPOB members in the area. It was learnt that the incident occurred because operatives from Umuahia operated in commercial buses, prompting their colleagues from Aba to mistake them for the separatist group. It was learnt that the incident occurred because operatives from Umuahia operated in commercial buses, prompting their colleagues from Aba to mistake them for the separatist group. Reacting in a statement on Thursday, the police spokesperson in the state, Maureen Chinaka, said police authorities are investigating the incident.

“From our preliminary investigation, there is no credible evidence to suggest that police officers mistook themselves for members of IPOB and fired at each other,” Ms Chinaka, an assistant superintendent of police, said.

“What we can confirm is that there was a shooting in that area, which resulted in the death of a civilian,” she stated.

A nationwide overhaul of the police force is long overdue, until then, the police in this country will continue to be a laughing stock and a disgrace to the nation.

I Just hope it wasn't due to gross negligence or incompetence this occasion.

An investigation is in order. Even though nothing is likely to come out of it!

Too bad. The main question is, IS ONE OF THEM ON THE OTHER SIDE PROMOTING PROSCRIPTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE TERRORIST AND ACCIDENTALLY MEET THEIR COLLEAGUE ON THE NIGERIA SIDE?.

The real sponsors of this is not yet open. MNK has denied being behind them. Same people sponsoring Ekpa Simeon
