The Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Police Command has commenced investigation into an incident involving one David Ikechukwu, who was reportedly shot by yet-to-be-identified gunmen. Reports earlier emerged that the 21-year-old was shot by a trigger-happy police officer in the Kubwa area of the territory.

She said the Commissioner of Police, CP Olatunji Rilwan, has ordered a comprehensive investigation to apprehend those responsible and to uncover the circumstances surrounding the incident.
