Wetin concern litearacy with this matter na?

The guy is trying to give us real time information here and you are telling him to go and get the names of the mopol and the guy involved. For Christ's sake, is he a journalist? Or you expect him to go out in the riotous scene to get you their names. Didn't you read where he said the commotion is going on as he is typing

That's not what it sounds like to me. Sounds as if the poster is trying to say that an ethnic violence has resulted from the shooting.

Jealousy and hatred for d igbos.

what's the situation now?

any updates?

Maybe the original poster has now gotten caught in the middle of the event (God forbid).

Pandemonium as policeman kills citizen at road block
By Emmanuel Obe, Awka, Published: Friday, 8 Jan 2010







Business activities and vehicular movement came to a halt on Thursday afternoon in the heart of Awka, the Anambra State capital, following the protest by youths in the neigbhbourhood against the killing of a young Nigerian by a policeman at a checkpoint.

The man was shot and killed by a policeman from MOPOL Unit 14, sent to Anambra State last year to fight the then worsening wave of kidnappings and bank robberies.

The identities of both the policeman and his victim could not be ascertained before press time. The dead man was said to have hailed from Nibo in Awka South Local Government Area and had only recently returned home from his base abroad.

The deceased who was said to be driving his Red Toyota Camry, with registration number, Lagos DF 231JJJ was stopped by policemen at the Ukwu Orji checkpoint.

Eye witnesses claimed that the deceased had offered N60 to the policeman who had demanded a tip for himself and his colleagues at the checkpoint.

The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, said the killer policeman had been arrested and taken into custody, but he did not give his name.

For several hours, the police battled the youths as they broke bottles and threw stones at the policemen. The busy Nnamdi Azikiwe Avenue was closed to both business and traffic.

na wah ooo. when will all these senseless "accidental discharge" killings stop?

Why not at least aim at the leg instead of the head?. If it was his leg at least, we should be talking about rehabilitating him or something.

You have a point there. I don't think they undergo any kind of formal training on how to use thier weopons. {because of corruption}They just give them kalashnikov and send them out to man road block. K bet half of them can't even read and write properly.

and tell me why we will not be branded as terrorists?

Aloy,
Why not at least shoot himself?
