The Anambra Police Command on Tuesday confirmed that one person died, while seven others sustained injuries when hoodlums tried to prevent its operatives from arresting fleeing criminals in Onitsha metropolis.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Haruna Mohammed, who confirmed the casualty figures, told the News Agency of Nigeria that the incident occurred at about 1pm at Obosi New Park, Onitsha.

There was an intelligence report that some suspects who escaped from custody were seen at that place and the Police mobilised and went there to make arrests.

They were, however, stopped by some hoodlums who attempted to disarm a policeman.

The policeman tried to liberate himself from them, but they refused. So he had to use his firearm and, unfortunately, it hit one of them.

The victim was rushed to a hospital but he was confirmed dead,” Mohammed said.

NAN reports that the hoodlums, who became angry at the death of the man, went on the rampage, blocking the Onitsha-Owerri road.

Although their activities disrupted vehicular movement for about 45 minutes, it took the intervention of reinforced Police team and the local security guards to disperse the rampaging hoodlums.

So far, the area is calm and the Commissioner of Police has ordered an investigation to ascertain the cause of the incident,” Mohammed added.

The Police spokesman declined comment on whether the wanted criminals were later rearrested.

I believe that a man is on the run.
But I do not believe they try to disarm you.
Nigerian police I know enjoying showing themselves before unarmed civilians.

After killing, the CP confirmed them as hoodlums, now he is setting up investigation to unravel what actually happen. Does it make sense?

But army knows how to treat your fuckup

Officers acted in defense as the criminals attempted to disarm them

Ladies and friends that statement has been the justification for extra judicial killings from members of the Nigerian Police. How do I know; I've been a victim. To my utmost surprise that day, two officers changed their narrative before the DPO app in a bid to rope me in for knowing my rights and resisting their nonsense. In the end they pegged a traffic offense on me as that couldn't hold grounds.

Honestly the NP lack physical training in many ways.

Let's wait on the panel.

Covered up story, damage control speech..na today!
