A vigilante in Dei-Dei, Abuja, Mujahid Ibrahim, accidentally shot himself while trying to arrest a suspect around midnight on Wednesday.
Ibrahim said the suspect resisted arrest, leading him to fire a warning shot. However, as he moved toward the suspect, his gun misfired, hitting his feet.
Doctors at Kubwa General Hospital removed seven cartridges from his body, with more tests ongoing. The suspect fled, but his elder brother has taken responsibility for Ibrahim’s treatment. Authorities have given the suspect 24 hours to surrender.
