A police officer with the rank of Sergeant, named Linus Wadzani, has shot and killed his father, who was also a retired police officer with the rank of Assistant Superintendent.
The incident occurred behind the Borno State Police Headquarters located in Modugannari, on Sunday, in Maiduguri.
Reacting to the incident, the Borno State Police Command Public Relations Officer, ASP Kenneth Daso, disclosed that police officers arrested the suspect on patrol.
Daso urged traders of alcoholic drinks to stop selling products to policemen in uniform to avert accidents
The PPRO, therefore, assured residents of the state that the police would continue to ensure the protection of lives and property.
He said, “What happened was that yesterday 21st July, at about 4:30 pm, one police officer, Sergeant Linus Wadzani, serving at Mopol six in Maiduguri, came back from work in possession of his AK 47 rifle. He had a misunderstanding with his father, the late Wadzani. As a result, he fired his father multiple shots on his body at their residence in the Tundun area of Maiduguri.
“They heard the gunshots and swung into action. He was disarmed to prevent him from further harm. However, the suspect has been arrested and is currently under criminal investigation at department headquarters in Maiduguri.”
