The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Abiodun Alamutu, has visited famous Nollywood actor, Azeez Ijaduade who was shot by a cop in the state.
The police boss also reacted to the incident during his visit to the victim at Babcock University Teaching Hospital, Iperu Ikenne Local Government Area of the state.
It will be recalled that the actor was rushed to the hospital after he was shot by a trigger-happy cop attached to a Chinese expatriate.
Meanwhile, in an early reaction to the incident, the state police publicist said the victim was only hit by a bullet shell and not a live bullet.
The CP who spoke to journalists after visiting the actor, said;
“It was actually an unfortunate incident, but from all indications, I have seen the victim, it was not a direct hit. Actually, some people were trying to mob the principal the policeman was attached with, in a bit to scare them off, he had to fire some shots. It was unfortunate the victim was within that axis. It was the shell that hit the victim.”
He, however, allayed the fear of the public, saying the victim was already recuperating.
“From what I have seen so far, he’s recuperating, only that he needs to be observed for some time to ensure that no vital part of his body is affected. From the way I see him, I believe none is affected. But that can only be certified by the medical experts,” he said.
