Sunday Dade , an official of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), reportedly shot dead an operative of Department of State Services (DSS) identified as Seyi Adebowale in Osun State.

The victim, Adebowale was shot in Kuta, Ayedire Local Government Area in the palace of the traditional ruler after the commissioning of a bridge built by the Nigeria Army which was flagged off by Osun State Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola and the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, on September 15, 2020.

It was gathered that the NSCDC official, Dade, who was in a joyful mood was shooting sporadically after the programme of the day but unfortunately one of the bullets he fired hit Adebowale.

A source narrated to newsmen that Adebowale was rushed to the General Hospital, Iwo, before he was referred Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo where he was operated twice before he eventually gave up the ghost.

The spokesperson of NSCDC, Osun Command, Mr Adigun Daniel, who confirmed the incident yesterday on phone, said “It was an operational error and it is very unfortunate. The official involved is going through a trial.”
