FEW weeks after being promoted to the rank of Deputy
Superintendent of Police at Kpakungu Division in Minna, Niger State, Mr. Aaron
Sunday was axed to death on Friday.
Sunday, who was a Divisional Crime Officer at the station,
was killed at 6 pm while on duty.
He was said to have led some of his men to quell a
disturbance by some hoodlums, who invaded a wedding party at Barasken-Sale Ward
when the incident occurred.
An eyewitnesses told SUNDAY PUNCH, “Someone had sent a
distress call to the police that some area boys (thugs) high from smoking
Indian hemp were harassing innocent people at the venue of the party. While the
police team was trying to restore law and order, one of the boys reportedly
axed the DSP from behind.”
The police officer was said to have collapsed in a pool of
his blood and died before he could reach the hospital where he was rushed to.
Several persons were apprehended by the police in connection
with the incident.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Bala
Elkana, confirmed the incident, saying over 13 suspects have been arrested by
the command.
According to Elkana , the arrested suspects will help in
fishing out others.
The command declared a war on hoodlums in Minna and advised
parents to ensure their wards refrained from thuggery.
“Any youth caught in the act will suffer the same and will
be charged to court. It is high time that we stopped the madness,” he warned.
Meanwhile, the remains of Sunday have been deposited at the
Minna General Hospital morgue.
