The Police in Enugu State have commenced an investigation into an alleged accidental shooting at a burial ceremony which led to the death of a mourner while another sustained injury on Saturday.
The Enugu State Police Command’s spokesman, Ebere Amaraizu, stated this in a statement in Enugu on Saturday.
Amaraizu said the incident occurred at Amanato Mburumbu community in the Nkanu East Local Government Area, adding that the police recovered a locally-made gun at the scene of the incident.
Amaraizu said the victims included a woman and the chief mourner.
“It was gathered that tragedy struck when a man, identified as Daniel Chukwu, of Amanato Mburumbu community stormed the burial ceremony arena with his locally-made gun and perhaps never knew it was already set for action,” he added.
