Village Head Arrested for Allegedly Shooting Sister in Akwa Ibom
The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested the village head of Ibagwa, Abak Local Government Area, for allegedly shooting his 32-year-old sister during a family dispute.
In a statement released Tuesday in Uyo, the Command’s spokesperson, DSP Timfon John, confirmed that officers acted on a report of attempted murder received around 2:30 p.m. on September 6.
According to the police, the case was reported by a man who alleged that his brother, the village head, had fired a shot at their sister, hitting her in the head.
“The victim was immediately taken to a hospital, where she is currently receiving treatment and is reported to be in stable condition,” John said.
The police spokesperson added that operatives swiftly moved in, arrested the suspect, and recovered a single-barrel gun believed to have been used in the attack.
John further explained that preliminary findings point to a quarrel over palm fruits as the cause of the violent altercation.
