An eyewitness who was present at the time of the incident, told our correspondent that the incident occurred when students of Urban Secondary School were observing their sports break on Monday.
According to him, “While the boy was playing ball with his mates, they kicked the ball which mistakenly fell into the school premises of Par Excellence School which shares the same fence with the boy’s school.
” The boy, a JSS 1 student, moved towards the fence and climbed up, hoping to jump into the man’s school from there to get the ball. But on sighting him, the proprietor took his pump action gun and shot the boy two times on the leg and buttocks and he fell down from the fence. Almost immediately, people around there, including the boy’s fellow students, started shouting and rushed the boy to hospital. It was later that the police were called in to arrest the Par Excellence proprietor whom it was gathered, was living outside the country before he came back a few years ago,” the eyewitness said.
However, the Imo Police command’s spokesman, DSP Henry Okoye is yet to react to the incident.
