An operative of the Department of State Services (DSS), went berserk on Saturday evening and shot at a newly wedded couple openly during their wedding reception in the Karu area, close to Abuja.
A
source told us that the SSS man was dating the lady and he had spent a lot
on her, but she decided to play a smart one on him by secretly getting married
to a man from her state.
There
are, however, conflicting reports about the state of the newly-weds. While one
report said the bride and bridegroom died before reaching the hospital, other
sources told Tribune that the couple, alongside other victims, were rushed to a
hospital where they are responding to the treatment.
It
was learnt further that the SSS operative, who appeared suddenly when the
couple was dancing after they had exchanged their wedding vows and moved to the
reception, started shooting sporadically.
According
to one of the witnesses, “after shooting the couple and other guests, he
attempted to flee but some youths at the event caught him. He was beaten up and
the the arrival of policemen saved him from being beaten to death.”
When
contacted, Nasarawa state Police PRO, Ismaila Numan, an Assistant
Superintendent of Police (ASP), confirmed the incident, saying the suspect had
been arrested, while investigation was ongoing.
He
declined to disclose the identity of the SSS man but said the couple are
responding to treatment.
