Confusion, sorrow and weeping have enveloped Avuvu community in Ikeduru LGA of Imo State where a man, Uche Ohiri, shot himself using a pump action.

It was reported that one of his kinsmen who came back for Christmas from the USA was hosting a small party in celebration of his safe home coming. Out of excitement and in order to make the celebration more lively, Uche sent for his gun.

After firing several shots in the air, it was learnt that one bullet got locked in the chamber of the gun. Uche was told to be cautious in handling the gun because of the hooked bullet inside the chamber.

In the process of explaining to the people that nothing will happen concerning the hooked bullet, the gun exploded shooting through his throat and head thereby killing him instantly. His shattered brain littered the ground with blood gushing out profusely.
