A young man, Friday Nduka, has been shot dead by a police Inspector, Mike Edem, just five days to his wedding in Owerri.

The Punch reports that the victim just got back from Malaysia for his wedding in Owerri which ought to take place today, December 27, 2016.

Friday Nduka

According to an eyewitness report, the groom-to-be had an altercation with one of the pump attendants over his missing iPhone 7. The argument degenerated into a fight and Nduka was said to have inflicted injuries on the attendant.

The manager of the station, Mrs. Ruth Enemmuo, who is now in police detention, intervened, adding that as soon as Nduka entered into his car, the police inspector fired, killing him instantly. It was learnt that the inspector fled the area and had not been seen.

The manager later went to the police station to report the killing, but was detained immediately. A human rights lawyer and counsel to the detained NNPC manager, Kissinger Ikeokwu, said there was no reason for the police to detain the NNPC station manager.

Friday Nduka was shot dead on December 22 by the trigger-happy policeman, who is now at large, in the presence of his fiancée and younger brother.
