The Imo State Police Command has launched hunt to nab the Police Inspector, Michael Edem, who allegedly shot and killed Friday Nduka a.k.a Eto, two days to his wedding. The deceased, a 28-year-old Malaysian-based businessman from Egbuoma in Oguta Local Govt Area of the state, was killed in front of his wife-to-be and younger brother at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Mega filling station located along Owerri road, after a fight with one of the pump attendants who he accused of allegedly stealing his phone from his car dashboard.
According to eyewitness report, after the fight, the victim had entered into his car and was driving out of the petrol station when the inspector, who was attached to the filling station, came out from one of the offices and flagged him down and walked up to him and shot him severally on the chest at close range before escaping from the scene.
The State Police spokesman, Mr Andrew Enwerem, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, told the Nation that the Inspector, who escaped from the scene after committing the dastardly act, was yet to turn himself in. He said that the Commissioner of Police, Mr Taiwo Lakanu, had directed that he should be fished out to face the law.
Quote
"The Policeman, who shot and killed the victim has not reported or turned himself in. We are making efforts to apprehend him. We have gone to his home but he is nowhere to be found. But we are not going to leave any stone unturned in making sure that he is arrested and brought to book,"
Mr Enwerem stated. He, however, disclosed that the salary and other entitlements of the fleeing culprit had been stopped by the Commissioner of Police, who he said had assured the victim’s immediate family of justice.
Quote
"If he doesn’t turn himself in he will be declared a deserter but we are assuring the family that we are saddened by the action of the officer and we are certainly not going to sweep it under the carpet. The Command wishes to assure the general public that it will do everything humanly possible to ensure that justice is done and quickly too,"
he told promised.

What nonsense are the police force talking that the criminal is yet to be found ,whom are they playing with? whom do they think buys their stupid idea? Imo people should give the a specific time to produce the criminal or all of them in the station will face the cause without hesitation. Even though he enters his mother's honeypot he must be fished out immediately. i guess its better to close down all police stations in Imo state because they are of no good to their people. Mr Andrew Enwerem take note if this animal is not found you and who ever keeps you there will pay the price.

WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS IS HE DOING IN MALAYSIA!!
How is that your business, what kind of business he ventured into, in Malaysia, before his death? Truly Nigeria is a zoo. I wish you, what you had wished the bereaved family. Your questions were out of point. Nigeria is crisis because of animals like you, that lack thinking faculty.
