Edo State Police Command has dismissed a police corporal who accidentally killed two nursing mothers at a funeral in Fugar, Etsako Central Local Government Area of Edo State.
The Corporal, Ali Christopher was dismissed after he was found culpable in an orderly room trial.
On June 27, this year, two nursing mothers were killed by a stray bullet from Christopher’s gun at Ivhiokhile quarters in Fugar during a funeral ceremony.
The state police command spokesperson, Stephen Onwochei, who disclosed this said two police officers were apprehended in connection with the case but after thorough investigations, Ali was found wanting.
His words: “That person has been tried in orderly room. He is a corporal and as I speak to you, he has been dismissed.
“Hopefully by this week, he will appear in court. Police officers should be guided by Force Order 237 which spells out the use of arms by officers.”
