It was gathered that the incident occurred at Nsukara community, near the University of Uyo main campus during the rush for drinks and food at the ceremony. The source said trouble started when “the two security officers had joined other guests to help themselves with food but unfortunately, the firearm was still in his hands when the sudden discharge occurred and sent the couples and other guests scampering for safety.“But one of them was quick to re-direct the nozzle of the gun to the ground and pumped the rest of the bullets in, however, the fragments had already hit the victim, who was close to the security official.
