Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) had petitioned (dated 10 August 2023, and April 2, 2024) to address to the Commissioner of Police, Enugu State Police Command, following alleged gunshot from a junior colleague.
Amadin Monday, ASP, has been in a critical condition due to lack of financial assistance from the commissioner of Police after the incident.
In his petition as witnessed by Vanguard, Amadin was purportedly shot by his junior colleague, an Inspector, on September 26, 2021, while they were returning to base at Ezi-Nze division of the Enugu State Police Command. His junior colleague became forlorn (unhappy) to the extent that he threatened to deal with him when he joined the patrol team to head them.

According to Amadin, his junior pleaded with him to accompany him to see one of his brothers who visited the village from Warri. Amadin revealed that while he was sitting on a plastic chair of his junior colleague brothers apartment, he overhead him telling a mobile policeman guarding the house that he could not go to work without cocking his rifle. However, Amadin said he turned to his direction and saw his junior colleague holding his rifle staunchly, consequently pointing the gun muzzle at him and shot him.
He said, “He was not happy when I joined the patrol team to head them, and he became embittered to the extent that he picked up a quarrel with me and vowed to deal with me.
On September 26, 2021, while returning to base at Ezi-Nze Division, he pleaded with us to follow him to see one of his brothers who visited the village from Warri. In his relative’s apartment, I sat on a plastic chair opposite him. I overheard him telling a mobile policeman guarding the house that he could not go to work without cocking his rifle. Immediately I turned to his direction, I saw him holding his rifle firmly on his lap, pointing the muzzle at me. The next moment, I found myself on the ground, with blood all over my body.
