The details of the incident are still sketchy as another account said that he was killed by an accidental discharge.

One of his cousins, Deacon Daniel Opara, who confirmed the incident, described it as unfortunate.
He said, “We are yet to get the details of what actually happened as it was alleged that he was killed from an accidental discharge from the gun of a police officer attached to his colleagues with whom he was on a Joint Task Force on an assignment to Anambra State.
“The family is suspecting foulplay as he was said to have been recently promoted.
“He joined the service about four to five years ago and was married with four children.”
