Abia
State police are currently investigating the death of a female househelp
allegedly killed by a boy with his lawyer-father’s gun in Aba. Though
information about the death of the househelp is still sketchy, it was gathered
that the lawyer’s child, said to be about seven years old, jokingly shot dead
their house help with his father’s gun.
The
child was said to have picked the father’s gun from his bedroom, thinking it
was a toy gun.
A
friend of the lawyer, who pleaded anonymity, said: “The child pointed the gun
at the househelp and jokingly said ‘I will kill you’, and pulled the trigger.
The gun went off and hit the househelp. She died before she could receive
medical attention.”
The
Spokesman of the Abia State Police Command, ASP Ogbonnaya Nta, who confirmed
the death of the househelp, added that the incident was yet to be reported to
police.
