Commissioner of Police, Shuwala Danmamman, directed the Divisional Police Officer of Maitumbi to fish out the officer responsible for the tragic incident, which occurred in the early hours of Monday.
The officer, attached to the Maitumbi Police Station, was said to have consumed excessive alcohol before picking up his rifle and firing indiscriminately.
In the process, he shot and killed a resident identified simply as Sani in the Angwan-Kaje area of Chanchaga Local Government Area.
According to eyewitnesses, the officer also attempted to shoot another resident, a tea seller known as Mai Shayi, who managed to escape.
