Nop the gun is licensed
He was trying to defend his family
Efcc Dey wear mufti go burst ask

hedonido:


Shut up. Dunce.

You invade my property in the dead of the night, I will blast your useless skull. I don't know how some of you disgusting fools reason. They identified themselves merely by shouting EFCC, and you think Armed Robbers or Kidnappers can't do the same?

You senseless yahoo boys think because you hate EFCC everybody must your delusion.You can’t dictate to EFCC how to operate.It may have been an odd hour to carry out and arrest and to break into the home but that doesn’t give the defendant the right to shoot at law enforcement agents.EFCC is a law enforcement agency just like the Police , Army or NSCDC.It could have been Police , Army etc.Does that give the defendant the right to shoot and kill them because they were breaking into his home at night?

Melagros:
COMRADES, these fraudsters are bold, how can you shot and kill an EFCC official and go scot free?

Yes. It does.

higgs:
You are not being logical. Raiding homes at night without search warrant is illegal. With the level of insecurity in Awka at the moment, the doctor's actions are quite understandable. After a similar disastrous night operation in a SW state,the EFCC chairman announced that he has banned night raids,why did these operatives defy that directive?The doctor is not guilty of murder and this can easily be proven in court.Sometimes the perpetrators of illegality become victims.
RIP to the deceased

The EFCC carrying out a raid at night and breaking into the defendant’s home does not give the defendant the right to shoot and kill EFCC agents.EFCC agents are federal law enforcement agents.It could have been Police or Army carrying out that raid.Moreover nobody shot at the defendant.How is it self defense when nobody shot at him ? EFCC agents breaking into the home at night is not illegal and the EFCC is constitutional agency.Some rogue governors tried to get the Supreme Court to declare EFCC unconstitutional but failed.There is nothing like self defense in that incident.Its a case of an alleged yahoo doctor who has a personal vandetta against the EFCC.

Amadioha will strike you dead if you quote me again. Senseless bastard justifying rubbish.

Get lost, you idiot.

Kewtt:

Yes. It does.

You like your yahoo doctor colleague may have a vandetta against EFCC but the law works on evidence.At no point did the EFCC agents fire at the defendant.I wish him the best in court.

OMEGA009:
The law of Self Defense states that you give only as much as you receive. You can’t shoot someone that slaps you or attacks you with a knife. It has to be equal and you only shoot WHEN SHOT AT to prove self defense. Let’s not be buoyed by what we watch on Tv. Moreover, the firearm was licensed to the Father and NOT THE SON. Firearms licenses are not transferable and the license states that it’s for “hunting” and not for domestic use so that License theory is in the toilet too. If I were the Doctor, I would’ve fired a warning shot and if I’m shot at, then I can do direct damage but the deed has been done. My condolences to all parties involved. I hope this fiasco doesn’t cause a rift between the Doctors association and the FG. The EFCC on the other hand need to do better in of training and retraining of their staff. This was an avoidable fracas.

You are talking a whole load of horse shit. Someone broke into your estate and your home in the middle of the night, breaking down your front door without any justification, and you are talking about warning shots and "give only as much as you receive"? Self defense when you feel your life or that of your family is in danger by which ever means is a basic fundamental "animal" instinct. You minimise the illegality of EFCC raids without any legal backing as a case of training and retraining, it is not. Its borders on criminality itself.
Apart from the operation itself being illegal, the EFCC banned midnight raids just over a year ago. Why then was a small group of EFCC officials raiding a whole neighbourhood in the middle of the night?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 EFCC will soon come for you too like your doctor colleague.

Northerners government work to come South dey oppress and exploit the people, go your north and fight crime. RIP.

The EFCC did not need to fire at the defendant before he defends himself using any means necessary. The EFCC official breaking down his door in the middle of the night without warnings or prior notice and without a search warrant is enough justification.
Luckily the guy seems rich and from a rich background, so the case would take its regular legal course.

The law permits breaking down people's doors at 2 AM? Oniranu

fergi.e001:


Halisu Sahabi, an Assistant Superintendent of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), who was killed on Friday by a suspected internet fraudster, during a raid in Awka, Anambra State, has been buried in Sokoto State by his family.

SaharaReporters learnt further from family sources that ASE II Sahabi was planning to get married in the year after the "next fasting season" before his untimely death.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that the Anambra State Police Command on Saturday arrested the suspect, a medical doctor, who attacked the operatives of the EFCC.

The suspect is identified as Chukwuka Josiah Ikechukwu Nnamdi who hails from Ifite, Awka, Anambra State.

SaharaReporters had learnt from top police sources on Saturday that Dr Ikechukwu Nnamdi was arrested while he was hiding in the ceiling of his neighbour's room after the crime.

SaharaReporters had reported that Halisu, who was confirmed dead after the shooting by the suspected fraudster was flown to Sokoto State for burial.

SaharaReporters had learnt that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Olufemi Oluyede, reportedly visited Awka, the Anambra State capital, to arrange for the transportation of the EFCC operative to Sokoto State for burial according to Islamic rites.

"He was buried in Sokoto this afternoon according to Muslim rites. Salisu was billed to get married after the next fasting season but he died tragically in the line of duty after his team was dispatched to confront alleged internet fraudsters in Awka, without bulletproof vest," a family source explained to SaharaReporters.

Speaking with SaharaReporters on Saturday, a top police source had earlier revealed, "The gunman was arrested by the police and EFCC operatives in the ceiling of his neighbour's room.

"After shooting and killing the EFCC operative he threw out the gun, a short pump action gun owned and licenced by his father into the bush.

"He hid at first in his ceiling and then crawled to his neighbour’s ceiling from where the police arrested and detained him."

"His father went to the police station to state and his position that he killed in self-defence.

"All the EFCC operatives dispatched for the night operation had no bulletproof vest. They just wore their branded EFCC jackets."

"His killer, Chukwuka Josiah ikechukwu Nnamdi from Ifite, Awka, is currently detained at the SCID and he is likely to face murder charges even though he claimed he shot and killed the EFCC operative in self-defence."

Police sources further told SaharaReporters that Dr Nnamdi threw the gun out of the window after firing shots that killed the EFCC operative and injured another operative.

"This was the gun he claimed was licensed to his father," the police source added.

Omoyele Sowore and his usual embellished stories again.

How can SaharaReporters claim they learned that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Olufemi Oluyede, reportedly visited Awka, the Anambra State capital, to arrange for the transportation of the EFCC operative to Sokoto State for burial according to Islamic rites?

Damn!

It's completely impossible for a whole Chief of Army Staff to visit Awka to transport the body of an EFCC operative that was killed in a takedown operation against suspected fraudsters.

NO standard ethics of Journalism being followed whatsoever!

That's a highly irresponsible and asinine publication from Omoyele and his despicable gang which further emphasizes the importance of taking anything SaharaReporters and that other highly notorious People’s Gazette publish online with a pinch of salt! It's time to start penalizing these so-called overpampered publishers of online news Websites with "very heavy fines" for the relentless dangerous destabilizations, fake news and distortions of historical facts" which didn't start today but gained more traction within the last 12 years," involving even the more notorious non-state actors.

The most disturbing part of this report is that the Chief of Army Staff had to visit Awka to arrange for transporting the body of that bastard to the North. Why? With our public funds? What makes him so special to the Army? What is the Army's business with the ill fate of a crooked EFCC official who was neutralized whilst on illegal duty? Or because he is a Muslim from Sokoto, that makes him special?

This sort of rubbish justifies the agitation for the country to divide so that everyone will go their way. What nonsense.

If you try to be reasonable you will know that the courts on so many occasions have established that illegality will never stand on another illegality. Don't operate on any illegal MO and thinks the court will back you up irrespective of the outcome. The directives from the EFCC head and their scope of mandates do not permit them to act outside the law by arresting people without court warrant and worse going about it in a Gestapo style.

The suspect family needs to amplify the media trial until it gets the attention of both the state government and Federal government, if suspect is lucky he will be confirm as a genuine medical doctor without any fraudulent activity then the case will be a learning point for the agency. If you doubt me go and read about the DSS raid on Nasarawa native doctor about 10 years ago and follow up on the resultant outcome and know how this will end up.

I don't fraud but agencies should be operating on the legal scope of their mandate and stop acting illegal. Rest in peace to the dead it's a very unfortunate scenario.

Abeg lawyer in the House the man go go jail for this

simple question has the corpse of the officer been flown to sokoto for burial?
if so - at whose cost - on whose budget?

also why is a corpse involved in a criminal case buried rather than autopsied as this is now an official criminal case?


let everyone come out with their own version of events

This is so bad
Let operatives know that there is one life
First it seems there was no communication from them to the state operative hence they were delayed in the first raid by police.

I think if an operative goes to another state or zone for operation, there should be communication among sister agencies as well as and notification to the nearest unit where the operation is billed to happen.

wirinet:


The were soft after soft targets that were not expected to have guns or put up any defence. Nigerian security operatives apart from the Nigerian army would never attack terrorists, drug cartels or violent criminals in such manner.

Attacking soft targets by breaking down doors like a thieve?

They are just bullies on an illegal mission. I though EFCC chair banned Night raids?

Onyi90:


Read to comprehend. The gun is licenced

For his father, stupid!

https://nairaland.unblockandhide.com/8320280/yahoo-boys-kill-efcc-official

I am sure the EFCC men had no warrant to enter and break into his home

bkool7:


The report said the gun was licensed to his father. And that he's not even a Yahoo boy.
The guy can walk away on self defense especially when EFCC had not invited him for questioning and them also did secure a warrant.

May God protect us .

This is technical. He protected himself, but with his fathers gun.

The gun was licensed to his father, not him.

MarketDispatch:


No one is talking about healthcare reforms like tax reforms since they all travel abroad when they fall sick

Good point.
I once said, if it doesn’t affect their pocket, they din’t talk about it.

ArcFresky:
It’s the tragedy of Nigeria.
Illegality upon illegality.

EFCC raid a suspect, like thieves in the night, with no safety gear, no warrant.

Suspect shoots without thinking, with an illegal gun.

Operative gets rushed to hospital, no doctor. A whole govt hospital, 0 doctors and 2 nurses?

gun was dully licenced by his father

Some people are too loud especially My Igbo people, you show off every little time, you don't have any thing to prove the source of your extravagant lifestyles, yet you expect law enforcement agents to do like you are not existing.

EFCC 0 - 1 Medical Doctor until after the judgement. But if am the judge, that case no go 3 weeks for my court. Upon the Kidnapping, the ritual killings the normal daily killings in Nigeria, Person get mind because he be EFCC operatives go jump person fence for night. Haba oga shey make I dey wait make the person come kidnap me. He for no hide for ceiling self, Na to go report himself for station. Make case start, somebody said you should not use gun for a knife fight as self defence. Make una dey deceive una self. Because kidnapper carry knife come your house, go carry knife dey fight am

HOSTCOM:
I dont know if crime can be fought without night operation, this is naija bro.

So it was deceit and lies that will eliminate crime ? Why did the Efcc chairman banned night operations ?

The operations done at night can as well be carried out during day time .

Pentagon007:


Now that you have understood that it is a LICENCED gun. You MUST again understand that he has the full right to self-defense. Especially given the modus operandi of the so called EFCC operatives. You cannot just barge into anybody's house in the midnight and expect the person to sit idly and welcome you with open arms especially with the high rate of crimes all over Nigeria.

I am sure the govt robbers did not identity themselves to the doctor and even if they did, which is HIGHLY UNLIKELY, there are better ways they could have met with the Doctor. What stops them from picking him up from his working place/hospital if at all they were genuine? I cannot imagine the trauma the family would be in by that time of the night. My heart goes out to them honestly.

With an average lawyer, the doctor will come out from the case. This is a clear case of SELF-DEFENSE!!!

I tell you with a good lawyer he will be free. How will you come to my house in the midnight to arrest me when you can invite for questioning.

this is the inevitable outcome of the unsanctioned raids by a bunch of corrupt, trigger happy thugs committed to enriching themselves from criminals rather than prosecuting them. sooner or later - these thugs would have come up against resistance. they have been storming into multiple house and sometimes reportedly molesting the occupants without any consequences.

EFCC have been breaking into peoples houses for the past 5 years

their sister agency, NDLEA has been busting drug dealers who are far more dangerous, without having to break into peoples houses at night

the NDLEA literally took down abba kyar.

the EFCC with all the resources available to them - are yet to take down any crooked cop. somehow they were not aware that abba kyari was an enforcer internet fraudster

we all know the game the efcc operatives are playing when they go after suspected white collar criminals in the dead of the night

Thank u for reminding me of d notice!

The doc is as free as a bird!
Shikena!
