Drunken policeman kills 3 Nollywood stars at marriage ceremony

Tragedy struck again in the industrial town of Nnewi, Anambra State, when a drunken policeman shot dead three people in a traditional marriage of the daughter of a renowned Lagos business¬man at Uruagu-Nnewi.

The victims, whose identities were kept secret, were believed to be Nollywood stars.
However, a post on the social media identified one of the Nollywood actors as Charles Okocha. He was said to have been hit by a stray bullet.
Okocha’s friend, Kelly Hand¬some, a singer, who broke the news on social media, said: “I’ve just been informed that my nigga, @charles_okocha has just been rushed to the ER (Emergency Room). He just got hit by a stray bullet supposedly fired randomly by some mobile policeman. Dumb sh**t! Pls let us pray 4 him, he needs our prayers now. Thanks” (sic).
Eyewitnesses at the scene of the incident, said that the bride and her Imo State-born heartthrob were dancing and being sprayed with crisp naira and dollar notes at about 6.30pm when the unexpected happened.
They said the occasion had been going on smoothly with many prominent Nnewi businessmen in attendance when shots were heard from outside the gate and the guests ran for safety.
He claimed that one of the guests ran inside the main compound and informed the celebrants what transpired outside.
It was later discovered that the drunken policeman had actually killed three prominent Nollywood actors who came to grace the occasion.
It was learnt that immediately after the shooting, the policeman came to his senses and wept profusely. He allegedly rolled over the lifeless body of one of the victims.
Sources said that some police¬men, vigilantes, civil defence and other security agents thereafter dis¬armed their drunken colleague.
The bodies of the victims were later taken to the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) in Nnewi.
The Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Com¬mand, DSP Okechukwu Ali con¬firmed the incident. Ali said however, that two people were shot, of which one died and the other is responding to treatment in an un-disclosed hospital.
