The Nasarawa State Police Command said on Sunday that a policeman, Thomas Agada, had in the early hours of the day shot and killed himself at Masaka in Karu Local Government Area of the state.
The command’s spokesman, Kennedy Idirisu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lafia that late Agada served at the Police Command in the FCT, but resided at Masaka, where the incident occurred.
Idirisu explained that before killing himself, the deceased had shot and injured his wife and maid at their shop around De Memories Hotel in Masaka.
He said the wife and maid were currently receiving treatment at the Asokoro General Hospital in the FCT, adding that investigation had begun to ascertain the motive behind the shooting.
