A sad incident has claimed the life of a 16 year old boy, Obinna Iwuoha, who was allegedly shot dead by a trigger Happy police Sergeant, Wilson Ufere on Thursday at the infamous "Ugwu Omiri Lawyer" on Anara - Umuahia expressway in the okohia community in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State. 

 

According to reports, the policeman had gone berserk and shot the innocent boy dead before attacking three others who are now in coma due to the severity of bullet injuries they sustained in the encounter.

 

 

It was gathered that trouble started after some youths, mainly teenagers who were in a rally for their church crusade which was billed to start on March 25 (today) had a flat tyre, at “Ukwu Omiri lawyer”, a metre away from where some police men were on a road duty.

 

One of the police officers insisted that the youths must remove their vehicle from the place, but the youths of Emmanuel Healing Power Ministry Incorporated, Uguiri, told the cop they were unable to move a vehicle with a flat tyre. An altercation reportedly ensued between one of the police men and the driver, resulting in the police officer allegedly slapping him consistently for three times.

 

 

Ufere, who was on the other side of the road and was not a party to the argument, emerged from nowhere, shot at the youths at a close range, killing one of them while three others lost consciousness.

 

Meanwhile, villagers have gathered at the residence of the deceased to mourn his death.
