Inspector Kills Colleague In Rivers, Commits Suicide
The incident which happened in Khana LGA, has generated a lot of talking points on social media, some Nigerians took to their social media page, criticizing the unprofessionality of the Nigerian police, and called on police IG to investigate on the matter.
The police operative identified as Inspector Nelson Abuante reportedly shot his colleague on Sunday at Nyogor-Lueku in the Khana Local Government Area of the state.
Both of them who are attached to the Taabaa Division of the Command had gone to arrest a suspect in the community following a complaint by the suspect’s mother.
Trouble however started when the suspect Akere Akpobari resisted the attempt to arrest him. In the ensuing melee, Inspector Abuante accidentally shot Inspector Gbaramana.
Gbaramana sustained injuries and was immediately rushed to the hospital. But the matter worsened when the vehicle conveying them ran out of petrol, leading to Gbaramana’s death.
Once he realised this, Abuante turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.
In the wake of the incident, the police spokesperson in Rivers Grace Iringe-Koko said “both bodies have been deposited at the mortuary while investigations are ongoing”.
