Only four days after scores of people tragically lost their lives in a ghastly explosion at a gas plant, the industrial town of Nnewi, again, bore witness to another tragedy when a policeman went berserk on December 27 and shot dead three people at a traditional marriage ceremony at Uruagu-Nnewi in Anambra State.
A witness of the occurrence, who identified himself simply as Ifeanyi, said the bride was dancing with the groom, the just-wedded couple being lavishly sprayed with crispy naira and dollar notes by merry family and friends when sound of gunshots were heard just outside the compound around 6:30pm.
Ifeanyi claimed that a guest ran inside and informed the celebrants on what transpired outside leading to the ceremony’s abrupt stop.
It unfolded that an alleged drunk policeman had shot down three persons said to be prominent Nollywood actors, who had come to celebrate the marital union. The inebriated policeman was disarmed by fellow security agents at the scene.
When contacted, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Okechukwu Ali (DSP), has confirmed the incident.
