Men and officers of the Imo State Police Command were thrown into mournful mood yesterday when the news filtered in that an aide to the State Police Commissioner, one police officer, Barr Tagbo, a Deputy Superintendent of Police, DSP, was killed on Sunday night at his Irete home in Owerri West LGA.
Until recently, DSP Tagbo, a lawyer and Senior Police Officer worked as a personal assistant to the present CP of Imo State, Mohamed Katsina.
Though report is still sketchy, but Trumpeta learnt that unknown and yet to be apprehended gunmen stormed his Irete home where he was brutally murdered.
After the gunshots, the attacked Tagbo was rushed to Federal Medical Centre where he finally gave up the ghost as he was reported to have lost enough blood arising from gunshot wounds.
Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, Joy Ekonoko proved abortive as her phone rang severally but unanswered as at the time of going to press.
