Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>An Assistant Superintendent of Immigration (ASI) Christian Oladimeji was shot and injured in Minna, Niger State, during a confrontation between police officers and hoodlums over suspected stolen materials.<\/p>\n

The incident, which occurred on Friday, at about 12:30 p.m., was contained in a post by security analyst Zagazola Makama on his official X handle on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the report, a Surveillance Patrol Team from the \u2018A\u2019 Division Police Command in Minna, led by ASP Ibrahim Audu Paiko, was on routine patrol near the Obasanjo Complex when they spotted a group of road construction workers carrying iron rods suspected to be stolen.<\/p>\n

Upon sighting the officers, the workers abandoned the materials and fled.<\/p>\n

However, as the police attempted to recover the abandoned items, they were suddenly attacked by other road construction workers and hoodlums, who pelted them with stones and other objects.<\/p>\n

The assault also damaged the Dangote Patrol Vehicle used by the police.<\/p>\n

In an attempt to disperse the mob, ASP Ibrahim Audu fired a shot, which accidentally struck ASI Christian Oladimeji, who was passing by on a motorcycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bullet hit her in the lap, causing her to fall from the motorcycle and sustain additional injuries,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

She was immediately rushed to the IBB Specialist Hospital in Minna, where medical personnel confirmed that while no bullet fragments remained in her body, she had suffered a fracture in her waist.<\/p>\n

Authorities have taken several suspects into custody for questioning, while disciplinary measures have been launched against the officers implicated in the incident.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, security agencies have called for calm, assuring residents that efforts are ongoing to maintain peace and order in the state<\/p>\n
