Police Officer Shoots DSS Operative Dead In Owerri, Imo State.
An operative of the Department of State Services (DSS) identified as Prince Nwachinaemere Ezemuonye Ozuzu has been shot dead by a police Officer in Owerri, the Imo state capital.
The DSS officer, from Umuoyo, Irete in the Owerri West Local Government Area of the state was murdered on Owerri-Onitsha Road.
The incident came less than 48 hours after gunmen burnt the DSS office in Nnewi, Anambra State.
The officer was said to have been deployed for an official duty in Anambra a few hours after the burning of the DSS office in Nnewi.
He was said to have been killed while returning to his station.
One of the Cousin To the Dead DSS agent, Deacon Daniel Opara, who confirmed the incident, described it as unfortunate.
He said, “We are yet to get the details of what actually happened as it was alleged that he was killed from an accidental discharge from the gun of a police officer attached to his colleagues with whom he was on a Joint Task Force on an assignment to Anambra State.
“The family is suspecting foulplay as he was said to have been recently promoted.
“He joined the service about four to five years ago and was married with four children.”
