hoodlums smoking Indian hemp in Enugu
metropolis.
The incident took place at about 5.p.m on

Market within Enugu metropolis.
It was gathered that the hoodlums
overpowered the officer and then used
hard objects to club him to death.

Ebere Amaraizu, said that the police had
begun massive crackdown and
investigation into the matter.

that we lost one of our own in the line of

still engage in maiming law enforcement
officers meant to protect and ensure they
live peacefully in their neighbourhoods.
“We have launched investigation into the
matter.
“The command would unravel what
happened and deal with the culprits
decisively,’’ he said.
