A resident of the Kubwa area in the Bwari Local Council in Abuja identified as Onyebuchi Anele was reportedly shot in the face with a tear gas canister by a police officer.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, May 22.

An eyewitness recounted to Leadership Newspaper that the deceased was on his way home from work when the incident occurred.

The eyewitness said the deceased “hit an okada man and his passenger and after stopping and making sure the accident victims were okay, decided to head home in the Haj Estate when policemen arrived the scene.”

The eyewitness elaborated that trouble ensued when the policemen, upon arriving at the scene, insisted that the deceased accompany them to their station, despite the departure of the okada man and his passenger.

This disagreement escalated into a quarrel, culminating in the policeman firing the tear gas canister directly into the deceased’s face at close range.

Widely circulated pictures and videos showed Anele bleeding from his face with a metallic object embedded in it.

However, the Police Public Relations Officer in the FCT, SP Josephine Adeh, in a statement on Friday said the deceased was shot dead through “accidental discharge.”

Adeh confirmed that the tragic incident happened in the Byazhin community in Kubwa, Abuja on Wednesday at about 9:45 pm.

She stated that the Commissioner of Police for the FCT, Benneth Igweh, has ordered an investigation into the incident.

Anele was reportedly taken to the Kubwa General Hospital and later referred to the National Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries around 8 am on Thursday.

What's the need of going to station when the victim has gone? Why dem. wan drag am to station if not for extortion?

Should we continue to support evil and blame one standing for what's right? If it was a criminal scene now, police no go react, dem go say make u come station come report fess

Another sad news

Every day I keep seeing a reason to ever hate every Nigerian force

ONE THING IS CERTAIN, IGBOS ARE ISRAELITES.


WEN U LOOK AT AN IGBO MAN, HE DONT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE HAUSA, YORUBA OR FULANI.


HE DOESN;T EVEN LOOK LIKE THE WEST AFRICANS.


THE CLOSEST TO AN IGBO LOOK IS THE ETHIOPIANS.


THE IGBO ARE UNIQUE IN EVERYTHING.



U KNOW HOW YOUR YORUBA MEN AND HAUSA MEN LOOK.


RIP ONYEBUCHI

Why do they always die at the hospital. Nigerian doctors are all quacks. BTW,the police I know,won't just open fire or tear gas,he must have been aggressive, approached him with a sharp object or something.now imagine hot iron rod get stuck in your face,u go die from blood contamination. Fuc k.

I tried running away from 3 pol officers who flagged me down ,now imagine I refused to go with them to the station. Alas I went and was what,extorted of 100k.i wan cry that day.but I know my God would have disgraced them by now.abt 3 years ago

What is this!? Gosh may Nigeria never happen to us.
