Policeman kills man five days to wedding in Warri (photos)

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.

“Now, the police are saying that my client should produce their own fleeing officer,” he added.

The woman, who spoke to our correspondent from her cell, said all the station’s attendants, including the one that had an altercation with the deceased, were on the run. The state police public relations officer, Andrew Enwerem, confirmed the incident and described the inspector as unruly.



Enwerem stated that the Inspector-General of Police had mandated the Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, to apprehend the fleeing inspector.
