- I have directed a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing – Laddoo
The protection of lives and property has always been the primary arm of Government as stipulated in the 1999 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended). Imo State Commissioner of Police Rabiu Ladodo has vowed to track down suspected armed robbers who gunned down a driver at the popular ‘Malaysian market’ in Umungwa in Obowo Local Government Area of the state.
The gunmen were said to have stormed the market last week and dispossessed traders and buyers of their wares and money.
Their action was said to have thrown the entire market into confusion as the sporadic sound of gunfire sent traders scampering in different directions.

In the confusion, the driver, identified as Chinedu, was hit as he attempted to flee from the scene. Ladodo, in a statement on Monday, gave assurance that the command will arrest and prosecute the killers of Chinedu.
The commissioner said he had directed a full-scale investigation into the circumstances surrounding the killing of the driver with a view to arresting the culprits, stressing that “Nobody has the right to take another person’s life and so those who robbed people of their belongings and also killed an innocent youth in the process must be tracked down.’’
