The court thereafter sentenced the defendant to three years imprisonment.

In another development, Delta State Police Commissioner (CP), Wale Abass, has ordered the arrest and detention of an errant police inspector for a thorough and speedy investigation.

The Inspector had shot one Lucky (surname unknown) at Ekrerhavwe Junction, Agbarho, while on stop and search duty.

The CP, on receipt of the sad news, immediately directed that the officer be immediately transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, (CID), Asaba.

“I can assure you that the offending officer will be subjected to internal disciplinary measures including criminal prosecution. The force, being a disciplined organisation, will not condone such cruel action by any member of the Force” Abass noted.
