A Police Corporal, Anthony Ugwuoke, on Sunday at Edda Village,
Ugwuachara in Ebonyi Local Government Area of Ebonyi, shot himself
dead after shooting his wife, Nkechi, and two daughters.
Mr. Ugwuoke's wife and daughters are in critical condition at the
Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki (FETHA), where neighbours rushed
them after the incident.
The late policeman was attached to the B' Operations unit of the
Police Command in Ebonyi and was an orderly to a High Court judge in
the state.
Mr Sylvester Igbo, Police Public Relations Officer in the state,
confirmed the incident but added that no clue had been established on
the motive for the action.
"Investigations into the matter are on-going as we would ensure we get
to its root.
"The body of the late officer has, however, been deposited at FETHA
mortuary," he said.
Jones Igboke, a community leader in the area, expressed sadness over
the incident and called on the police to unravel the mystery
surrounding it.
