Superintendent Chris Eza's life was rudely cut short, no thanks to his untimely death on February 25, 2015. Vanguard Metro gathered that on that fateful day of the incident, SP Eza had gone out to get food at an eatery along Ahmadu Bello Way around 9pm when he saw some police men on patrol. On observation, he found out that one of them was not properly dressed and immediately reprimanded him. The cop, a corporal, did not take kindly to this and grumbled in protest.
An angry Chris felt the corporal’s action was unacceptable and warned the fellow that he was going to disarm him if he didn’t take care. Instead of apologising, the corporal cocked his gun and threatened to shoot the superintendent.
Calling his bluff, Eza moved towards the junior cop who immediately opened fire, killing the superintendent in the process.
