Gunmen have shot dead a Police Inspector in front of a popular hotel in the D/Line axis of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Also, the gunmen carted away the AK-47 rifle of the operative after he was shot in the head.

An eyewitness who preferred anonymity said the dare-devil assailants rode in a Toyota Corolla vehicle.

He stated, “It was around 2pm on Friday when we saw some men in a Grey 2005 Toyota Corolla car drove with speed and stopped in front of Landmark Hotel.

“Next thing, a policeman that was with his boss was shot by one of the men who came down from the vehicle and his gun was taken and the car zoomed off immediately.”

Though the motive of the shooting could not be ascertained, the eyewitness said it may have been a kidnap attempt, as the killed cop was guarding a yet-to-identified personality.

He said the incident created panic in the area, as residents scampered for safety, while business owners immediately closed shop.

In a viral video seen by our correspondent, the policeman sprawled on the ground in a pool of blood.

Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, in a statement on Saturday afternoon confirmed the incident, saying investigation was ongoing to apprehend the fleeing gunmen.

EFCC arraigns Blessing CEO over alleged N36m fraud

Social media influencer and relationship therapist Blessing Okoro, popularly known as Blessing CEO, has been arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over an alleged ₦36 million fraud case in Lagos. The influencer was docked before the Federal High Court in Ikoyi on Friday on a two-count charge bordering on obtaining money by false pretence and alleged theft. The EFCC alleged that Blessing CEO obtained ₦36 million from one Mrs Ifeyinwa Nonye Okoye between July 14 and 17, 2024, under the pretext of securing a six-bedroom duplex in Lekki, Lagos. Prosecutors claimed the representation was false and violated provisions of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006. The anti-graft agency also accused her of converting the funds for personal use. Blessing CEO pleaded not guilty to the charges when they were read before the court. Following her plea, EFCC counsel requested that she be remanded pending trial, while her defence team informed the court that they had just received the charge documents and intended to file a bail application. Justice D.I. Dipeolu subsequently ordered that she be remanded in EFCC custody pending the hearing of her bail application. The matter was adjourned until June 5, 2026, for trial.
