Amukwa community in Nsukka Local Government Area of Enugu State has been turned into a mourning ground over the gruesome murder of Chinweike Asadu, the Kwara State commissioner of police.
When DailyPost visited the community, both men and women in the community were weeping uncontrollably.
Amukwa is one of the major communities, where the University Of Nigeria is situated. Asadu is the most decorated police officer from the area.
Ever since the demise of her traditional ruler, His Royal Highness, Igwe John Nwangwu two years ago, the community has remained without a monarch.
Recent effort made to install a new monarch failed, a situation that has polarized the community into two factions.
However, DailyPost observation on Sunday showed that the warring factions in the chieftaincy tussle got united for the first time, as all of them cried endlessly over the huge loss.
Although, none of them agreed to speak to the press, a youth leader merely quipped: “all we are saying is that this is blue murder, police should produce our brother’s killers”.
The late CP hails from the same community with transport giant, Evan Sam Maduka Onyishi, owner of Peace Mass Transit Ltd.
Prior to the incident, the late commissioner had escorted a visitor along with his driver and a police orderly posted to guard his residence from Abakpa Police Division,leaving behind the official escort team that came with him from Kwara State Police Command.
DailyPost learnt that the police orderly of the late Asadu identified as Aloha Olaniyi, his Driver, Oliver Omeh, who were with him when the dare devil men struck, sustained serious bullet wounds. It was further gathered that the CP, who was rushed to the National Orthopaedic Hospital in Enugu, alongside his aide and driver was confirmed dead.
