He was said to have died on the spot.

When contacted by Punch, the Police Public Relations Officer for Delta State Command, Onome Onovwakpoyeya, confirmed the killing.

“Yes, it is true; the police officer was shot dead on Friday as he was seeing someone off. His rifle was collected,” the PPRO said.
