The blast left Inspector Nuhu with grievous injuries to his mouth and right cheek.
A police inspector is battling severe facial injuries after he was allegedly shot at close range by a fellow officer following a heated altercation at the Iju Police Division in Lagos.
The incident occurred at about 9am on Sunday, shortly after Inspector Aminu Nuhu completed his night station guard duty and was handing over to Police Constable Lateef Afeez, who had resumed for the morning shift.
According to an internal police signal obtained by SaharaReporters, a disagreement between the two officers escalated into violence when the inspector allegedly threw stones at the constable during the confrontation.
The situation reportedly took a deadly turn when Constable Afeez allegedly retaliated by firing a riot gun that had been issued to him for guard duty directly at the inspector's face from close range.
