A man has been shot dead while testing the potency of his anti-gun charm in Maiduguri.
Lukman Alhaji Umaru was shot dead with a Dane gun on his request, by his friend identified as Hassan Mohammed.
DailyPost says Mohammed is now standing trial before a Maiduguri High
Court presided over by Justice Alkali Gana Wakkil of Court 11.
According to reports, the deceased and his friend had assembled in the
house of one Yahaya Halidu and were having breakfast when the incident
happened.
The Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, Tunde Ogunsakin said the
deceased claimed he had anti-gun charms. He then went to his house and
brought assorted charms and a Dane gun and requested Mohammed to shoot
him with the gun claiming that it would not harm him.
However when Mohammed aimed at the deceased and fired at his head with the gun, he fell and died.
Justice Wakkil adjourned the case till December 4 to enable Yahaya
Halidu in whose house the incident happened, to testify before the
court.
