Following the alleged shooting of a boy to death by a Catholic Priest in St Columbus Amaimo Ikeduru Council Area of Imo state, by a Catholic Priest, the State Police Command said it has commenced an investigation into the matter.
There were different versions of the story that led to the tragic incident, while some residents alleged that the disease threw a banger firework, popularly known as knockout inside the church.
