As shoot-out involving security details of Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Ahamefule Orji, has led to the death of one mobile police officer. Another is reportedly on danger list.
The incident, which happened in the early hours of yesterday at the police quarters of Government House, was said to have rattled government functionaries, who were doing everything possible to bring the situation under control.
A police officer, identified as Corporal Umoru Mohammed was at the centre of the tragedy. Doctors at the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia are now battling to save his life.
He was alleged to have shot dead Corporal Clement Amachi, who shares the same pilot vehicle 08 with him in the governor’s fleet.
Amachi hails from Ohanku, Ukwa East Local Government Area of Abia State, while Muhammed’s state is yet to be ascertained. Muhammed was said to have shot Amachi at very close range, while he was relaxing in his room, watching a late night movie.
It was later gathered that the shooting might not be unconnected with a gift allegedly given to the security details by the governor. A hospital source told Daily Sun that the cause of the shoot-out was a N2.5 million gift given to the security details by the governor after a trip, and Mohammed was allegedly short-changed in the sharing.
He was said to have explained this to doctors before he was wheeled into the theatre to be operated upon. According to the source, Mohammed said they had been cheating him in the past and that this time around, he was determined to square it up with his colleague who he suspected was behind the cheating. Mohammed was alleged to have gone into Amachi’s room and shot him severally on the head at about 2.00 am, while the latter was watching television.
After he had confirmed that Amachi was dead, Mohammed stormed out of the house, with his AK 47 assault rifle, shooting sporadically as he walked towards the main gate of the government house. It was after he had expended the bullets in his gun and wanted to change to another magazine that he was shot and disarmed by other security operatives around.
