“Mr Ukam was shot dead and his penis cut off by the gunmen who ran away with it. One of the other two officers at the checkpoint sustained wounds on his face

“The place where the incident happened is called Okpo-Efi Junction, at Agwa, in Ejemekwuru road. It’s really unfortunate that they made away with the man’s private part. The community is quiet now.”

Also, the chairman of the community, Ekene Onyejiekwe, who confirmed the incident affirmed that the remains of the slain cop had been deposited at a morgue in Owerri.

When contacted, the State police image maker, Michael Abattam, confirmed the incident.
