In an alleged ecstasy to impress their yahoo paymaster, a team of police operatives, on Sunday, shot dead one Elvis Ovie and injured another, Onome Eko, during a party in Warri, Delta State.

Operatives, three of whom are now in police detention, were said to have been in a shooting spree to impress an alleged internet fraud popularly called ‘yahoo yahoo boys’ for whom they were providing security.

It was gathered that the gun-wielding cops were led by one Insp. Imana Samuel, a Sergeant and a corporal from the Warri Area Command.

The vehicle reportedly used to hurriedly convey late Ovie and injured Eko to a hospital, it was gathered, also brushed off another unidentified victim who is now on admission in an undisclosed location.

The killer-cops were later arrested by policemen attached to Warri ‘B’ Division headed by Mr Anietie Eyoh, the Divisional Police Officer, and is set for arraignment today.

But a reliable source informed journalists that the cops were on illegal duty and had always been fond of hobnobbing with ‘yahoo yahoo’ boys for perks. “Insp Imana led the team and one Tony did the shooting which killed Elvis.

This team is fund of illegal duties, aiding and abetting these ‘419’ and ‘yahoo-boys’ they are supposed to be investigating and prosecuting. Luck ran out on them on Sunday when they provided escort in a private car for a gang of yahoo-boys led by one Benjy to the child dedication party.

Apparently drunk and carried away by the perks from Benjy, they started shooting to glorify the fraudsters as they engaged in Naira decoration of the celebrant. It was at that point they shot Elvis and Onome. Elvis died, while Onome is currently nursing bullet wounds,” a source noted.
