Nigeria’s Police Command in Enugu State on Sunday confirmed that the Commissioner of Police in Kwara State, Mr Chinweike Asadu, was killed by unidentified persons in the coal city.
A statement from the command’s spokesman, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, said in Enugu that Asadu was gunned down as he was about to enter his Enugu residence in Abakpa Nike around 9.45 p.m. on Saturday.
Amaraizu said the officer was rushed to National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu, where he was confirmed dead.
He said the police had launched a man-hunt for the killers.
The commissioner’s orderly, Mr Aloha Olaniyi, and his driver, Mr Oliver Omeh, who were with him at the time of the incident, sustained bullet wounds.
The two men are currently receiving treatment at the National Orthopaedic Hospital, Enugu
Asadu’s death brought activities to a standstill at Kwara State Police Command and Police Officers’ Mess in IIorin.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who went round Ilorin on Sunday, reports that the command and other police formations were like ghost towns.
At the command and other formations visited by NAN, officers and men were seen discussing the demise of the police chief.
Some top police officers in some of the formations and officers’ mess were in tears while others were too dazed to utter a word.
Some of the officers, who spoke to NAN but refused to give their names, described the death of the commissioner as `a big tragedy’ to the command and the entire police force
“We have lost a fine gentleman and hardworking officer,’’ they said.
