Nigeria Police has dismissed Police Corporal Iroh Orji, for shooting two officials of the Federal Road Safety Corps,FRSC, at Aba in Abia State.

Abia Police Commissioner, Leye Oyebade said this while addressing newsmen on the activities of the command, saying Orji was tried and found guilty of the offence and had to be dismissed from the police.

Oyebade said the command and the police hierarchy condemned the action of the corporal, describing his action as a negation of the laid down rules of the force.

He said police do not advise its members to use their arms and ammunition recklessly, saying any armed police officer was expected to protect people not to shoot at them.

The corporal, who was an orderly to the Speaker of the Abia House of Assembly, Chikwendu Kalu, allegedly shot at the FRSC officials at their duty post on July fifteen at Arungwa Junction, near Aba on the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway.

Oyebade regretted the incident, saying it was capable of causing disaffection between the police and other sister security agencies.

The Police Boss paraded twenty-nine suspects were arrested for various criminal offences, including armed robbery, kidnapping, child trafficking and car snatching.

He said they would be prosecuted at the end of the investigation.
