The command’s spokesperson, SP Irene Ugbo, confirmed this on Sunday, March 23, 2025.

She, however, said the police had arrested the officer while the two injured victims were receiving medical attention.
A source further disclosed that the police officer started behaving strangely when he returned from night duty.
The source said: “He blocked the gate of the station and refused everyone exit and entry into the facility.
“All efforts to disarm him through peaceful dialogue proved abortive.
“Tactical teams were mobilised to the scene, and he became apprehensive and started shooting sporadically.
“In the process, he shot three persons, including the deceased aged 41 years and wife of a retired police officer as well as two others.”
