One pastor John Onu, has been killed by police stray bullet
at his house in Nkaliki, Abakaliki Local Government Area of
Ebonyi State.

The incident happened on Monday morning, September 20,
when police protecting a hotel belonging to one Chukwudi
Onyibe, a Special Assistant to the Chairman of the Local
Government on Internally Generated Revenue, started to
shoot sporadically at rioting youths of the area.

Pastor Onu of Glorious Gospel Fire Assembly was observing
his morning devotion inside his room in a-3 storey building
at Hatchery, Nkaliki road when he was hit by police stray
bullets while trying to shut his windows following the
commotion outside.

The bullet reportedly hit him on the upper side of his chest
and pierced through his back.

It was gathered that the Youths of Ebyia Upnuhu village had
gone on rampage, burning houses in the area after a native
of the village was beaten to death allegedly by men of
Ebube Agu security outfit who came to make some arrest in
the area.

It was further gathered that the Council Chairman’s house
and that of his Aide, Mr Chukwudi Onyibe were set ablaze in
the village.

The rampaging youths also attempted to attack Abakaliki
local government headquarters, Nakaliki but were dispersed
by the security agents.

Chairman of the local government, Hon. Emmanuel
Nwangele confirmed the incident to journalists in Abakaliki.

"I was about to go to the village that night to calm the
youths but some people around told me it was late that
time; that it was better in the morning. It was after that that I
was informed that somebody died and that they are
rampaging to the extent that they came to one Bosco Guest
House and they were dispersed by the police," he narrated.

"They went back home and set ablaze houses. Swift
reaction was that I was called that they also moved to my
own house and also set it ablaze, destroying so many
things. I said why? Because I don’t know the genesis of the
problem. Late in the night, they also went back to that
Bosco’s hotel. According to information, they were even
trying to come to Abakaliki local government headquarters
but security agencies prevented them. Then this morning,
they repeated

"The owner of the guest house, Bosco, Chukwudi Onyibe is
my SA on IGR. But information reaching me said that they
conveyed Ebubeagu people to go and arrest somebody who
stole something and on the way to that place, they had a
clash with somebody who overtook their vehicle and from
there, they had some squabbles and it was led by one
soldier from that our village who was posted outside but
returned to the village

"It was one of the Ebube Agu boys that they said that had
encounter with them and Bosco wasn’t even with them, he
was on the steering. This was what I was told, I don’t even
know anything about it.” he added.

When contacted, the Assistant Police Public Relations
Officer of the State Police Command, ASP Philip Levi also
confirmed the incident but said everything had been brought
under control.
