A Ghanaian national simply identified as Andem has been killed.

 

Andem who was resident in AnamB.ra State, was on Tuesday reported dead after a ‘drunk’ policeman allegedly shot him.

 

According to The Punch, the victim caught the officer’s bullet in the neck and was rushed to the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital in Awka by sympathizers and onlookers.

 

Until his death, Andem owned an electrical appliance shop at the Aroma area of the state capital, Awka, where he worked as an electrician.

 

The Punch reports that Andem, however, met his untimely death yesterday afternoon after a yet-to-be identified officer of the state Police Command began to shoot sporadically in the area.

 

An eyewitness who spoke on the incident said, “The policeman shoots sporadically with his service pistol each time he visits the area.

 

“He is a drunk and each time he is intoxicated, he behaves abnormally. He has been terrorizing us.

“Everybody knows him around here because of his erratic behaviour,” the eyewitness was quoted as saying, adding that doctors confirmed Andem dead on arrival at the hospital.

 

Meanwhile, the police is yet to make a statement as the Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Nkeiruka Nwode, when contacted, said the command was not aware of the murder.
