A Deputy Superintendent of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has accidentally shot and killed his colleague at Life Camp in Abuja.
This comes barely two days after eight NSCDC operatives were killed by gunmen suspected to be kidnappers in the Okpella area of Edo State.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama, citing sources, disclosed that an NSCDC officer, DSC Adekunle Emmanuel, was hit by a bullet on the left upper arm above the bicep at about 10 a.m. on Sunday, September 7, 2025.

Sources further revealed that the officer responsible for the shooting is in custody and being interrogated.
