Family alleges deceased Nigeria police officer murdered by colleagues
Gabriel Amawu, a superintendent of police, was the head of the police division in Obudu, northern Cross River State, when he died of a gunshot wound at his station around 9 p.m. on March 10.as saying that the officer “died from accidental discharge from a gun he was trying to load” during a face-off between the police and students of the Federal College of Education, Obudu.
“The late officer was shot at the Obudu Police Station, specifically inside the Station counter,” said Benedict Amawu, a lawyer, in a petition to the Inspector General of Police, on behalf of the family of the late police chief. “The bullet from the gun shot went straight into the deceased officer’s chest and exited at his right arm/region; it would not have been possible for the officer to shot himself from that point and speculated in some quarters.”“The above is a clear indication that the act of annihilation, murder and ungodly killing orchestrated by the act of shooting was premeditated and neatly carried out with the intention to ensure that the life of the Officer was completely terminated.
Mr Mba, a deputy commissioner of police, said he would find out the status of the petition, if really it was sent to the inspector general of police.
