Operatives of the Imo State Police Command have apprehended a lady, Miss Amanda Uchechi Ugo who allegedly shot her boyfriend, Cosmas Ugwu, a Police corporal attached to the Imo State Police Command in his room at the Ezinihhitte Mbaise Police barracks.
In a statement on Friday, Henry Okoye (ASP), spokesman of the state police command, said that Amanda Uche Ugo has been arrested by the operatives of the command.
He said a pistol gun with breach number 5199225, assigned to the deceased officer was tactfully collected from the suspect.
“On Tuesday, December 26, about 6.32pm, operatives of Ezinihitte-Mbaise Police Area Command, heard three gunshots emanating from the Area Command’s Barracks, and tactically manoeuvred to the scene where they met Corporal Cosmas Ugwu ‘m’ in his room with gunshot injuries on his chest and hand, lying helplessly on the floor in his pool of blood. He was immediately rushed to Evergreen Hospital in Ezinihitte-Mbaise where he died while receiving medical treatment. His corpse has since been deposited at the morgue for preservation.
“On interrogation, she volunteered a confessional statement admitting that she shot the Police Corporal who is her lover after a serious altercation that led to a fight with him.
“Meanwhile the Commissioner of Police Imo State Command, CP Aboki Danjuma has directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Owerri, to carry out a comprehensive investigation and arraign the suspect in court with the appropriate criminal charge on completion of the investigation,” Okoye said.
