ENUGU — Barely 24 hours after he told Vanguard that he had served his country meritoriously and it was time to retire to serve his family, Kwara State Police Commissioner, Mr Chinwike Asadu, was murdered by assassins, Saturday night. His  body was riddled with bullets 100 metres from his home after seeing off his guest.

The incident occurred at Amorji Nike, near the densely populated Abakpa  Nike area in Enugu East Local Government Area within the state capital at about 10 p.m.
The Police Commissioner, who reportedly visited his home in Enugu, weekend, was driving into his private residence when the assailants, who might have laid ambush for him, attacked.
CP Asadu, according to sources, had a visitor whom he escorted with his driver and a police orderly posted to guard his residence from Abakpa Police Division, leaving behind the official escort team that came with him from Kwara State Police Command.
They were returning to the house after dropping the visitor when they suddenly noticed a bus trailing them as they turned into his street. The gunmen opened fire on them, killing the police commissioner instantly and injuring two of his aides.
Before the gunmen escaped, they reportedly took away the rifle of the orderly whose body was riddled with bullets. The orderly was shot on the chest, stomach, hands and  leg while the driver was shot on both legs.
