The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has confirmed the arrest of an irrationally aggressive officer who is suspected of killing Oyebuchi Anene, a resident of the Byazhin community in Kubwa, Bwari Area, Abuja.
New Telegraph gathered that the incident took place on Wednesday close to Haj Estate, where the deceased resided with his young wife and one daughter.
The deceased struck an Okada guy and his passenger in the vicinity while heading home, which sparked trouble.
Witnesses reported that, before departing the scene to go home to the Haj Estate, the deceased stopped to check on the safety of the Okada rider and his passenger.
The deceased, however, was forced to follow some police officers who had invaded the scene to a station.
A fight broke out between the police officers and the deceased as a result of the development.

He was transferred to National Hospital after being taken to Kubwa General Hospital and died there on Thursday.
On Friday, SP Josephine Adeh, the FCT Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, confirmed the occurrence to New Telegraph.
The police officer, according to her, is being held in custody for the “accidental discharge.”
The PPRO said, the FCT Police Commissioner, CP Benneth Igweh “unequivocally condemns the unprofessional and disheartening conduct of the police officer and assures the family and the public of swift justice”.
