Police boss attacked in Delta

By

The death has been announced of ACP Usman Ndanbabo, Area commander of the Ughelli command of the Delta state Police command.Ndanbabo was said to have been shot by yet to be ascertained men Sunday night while returning from a function, having been followed for a while.“He was returning from an outing at about 8:00p.m in his Nissan SUV when he noticed that a Toyota car had been trailing him.“He tried fleeing from his car when he got to the roundabout opposite the palace of the Ovie of Ughelli, along Isoko Road.“But his assailants opened fire on him, shot him in the back and his stomach and left him.“He was immediately rushed to a private clinic at Ughelli for medical attention, but was referred to another private clinic in Warri for treatment owing to the gravity of the gunshot wounds,” a source, who’s a senior police officer disclosed.The Delta State Commissioner of Police, Zanna Ibrahim confirmed the incident and adduced no reason for the attack, but promised some reason might be made know to the public as soon as he recovered, as he is said to be receiving medical attention.He added that the command was already investigating the incident and would ensure that the assailants face the music when apprehended.“I’ve just visited him in the hospital and he’s stabilising.No arrest has been made yet, that will depend on what he tells us about what happened and we cannot extract anything from him for now because he’s in the intensive care unit.“Though we spoke to him, we wouldn’t want to stress him with so many questions for now, but by the time he’s out of the ICU, we will be able to know exactly what happened because he was alone in the vehicle; he was driving alone.“Only him can tell us what happened,” he explained.Recall that crime rate within Ughelli town and its environs has been on the increase and a source of worry in the past couple of weeks with records of kidnappings and killings.As a result, security operatives, particularly the police, have embarked on regular patrols as well as stop-and-search operations in the area.
