"He was the second-in-command at the armoury in the
MOPOL 20. A policeman brought a faulty rifle to his office to examine. While he
was doing that, he mistakenly turned the barrel of the gun on himself, and he
mistakenly pulled the trigger. We rushed him to LASUTH, where the medical
personnel battled to save his life. But, he died at about 1pm. His head was
badly injured. Medugwu’s death shook all of us.”he said
