The Delta State Police Command says a bullet fired in self-defence by one of its men killed a yet-to-be-identified man, when a group of boys tried to disarm a police inspector during a birthday party at a popular bar on Friday, September 24, 2021, at Obinomba axis of Umukwata kingdom in Ukwuani Local Government Area of the state.

Speaking with NewsNet Nigeria, the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, said a team of policemen in the area on their way back after responding to a call of a boy who was shot by a suspected rival cult group at past 9pm on Friday, saw a group of boys numbering about fifty having a birthday party.

Edafe explained that this was after the policemen had rushed the victim of a cult attack who they saw in his pool of blood to the hospital.

According to him, “One of the inspectors went close to them and while trying to caution them they rushed.

“We don’t know the number of boys that rushed him and the inspector was armed with AK 47 rifle. So, while they were struggling his rifle with him, the backup men now fired.

“It was the shot that hit one of the boys on his lap.

“Getting to the hospital the boy that was shot by rival cult group and the boy that the police ammunition hit, both later died in the hospital.”

The police image-maker who confirmed that normalcy has been restored in the community following a protest that broke out as a result of the incident decried the increasing cases of people daring policemen who are armed.

The protesters demanded the arrest, dismissal and prosecution of the policemen involved in the killing of the victim is survived by a wife who delivered three months ago.
