Barely two days after a police in­spector shot him­self in the leg and died in Aba, officers and men of Osisioma Police Station near the commer­cial city in Abia State have be thrown into mourning again following the sud­den death of a police in­spector attached to the crime unit. The deceased policeman was identi­fied as Inspector Samuel Amaefule.

Last Sunday, a policema identified as Inspector Sun­day Mefo of the Patrol and Guard (P&G) unit, Central Police Station (CPS), Aba shot himself in the leg and later died in a hospital.

It was gathered that In­spector Amaefule, who was hale and hearty, slumped while urinating within the premises of the police sta­tion and later died despite attempts to save his life.

According to a source, “he was urinating some­where at a corner of the sta­tion and before you knew it, he slumped. People who were around quickly rushed to pick him up, but before any help could come, he had died.”

Though it was not clear at press time whether the police officer had been suf­fering from any ailment before the incident, sources said Amaefule might have suffered heart attack.

Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, Geoffrey Ogbonna, could not be reached for com­ments, but a senior police officer confirmed the inci­dent.
