Alamutu expressed his regret over the incident and was relieved to see that the actor’s condition was stable.
“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, and in a bid 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 him.
“From all indications, he is getting better. The concerned policeman is already undergoing disciplinary procedure. What is important is for us to ensure that no life is lost,” Daily Post quoted the police commissioner to have said.
