There is a lot of uncertainties trailing the murder of an officer of the Department of the State Service, DSS, Prince Nwachinaemere Ezemuonye Ozuzu, from Umuoyo, Irete in Owerri West Local Government Area in Imo State, Vanguard is reporting.
The incident happened on Monday, October 4th, 2021 while he was returning from official duty.
There are different versions of the story regarding his death. While some say he was a victim of accidental discharge, others alleged he was murdered by unknown gunmen.
A source close to the family said, “Our brother was killed on his way from Anambra to Owerri after he went for an official duty in Anambra state. I think it was because of the recent attacks by the unknown gunmen in the Nnewi area of Anambra state.
“Somebody told us that they were attacked by unknown gunmen and he was gunned down but all we want to hear from the DSS, where he’s working was actually what led to the death of our brother.
“From there we know the action we will take because this confusion is making it difficult for some of us to know what happened. We are still confused now until we get details.”
The Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO of Imo state, Mike Abattam is yet to comment on the incident.
