According to a witness, trouble started after the late Anene was involved in a minor accident with an okada rider.
He reportedly settled with the okada rider and his passenger and was about going into the nearby estate where he resides when policemen arrived the scene.
The officers had reportedly asked him to follow them to their station, but he refused on the grounds that the issue had been resolved while okada man and his passenger had left.
During the argument, a policeman was said to have shot the deceased at a close range. The victim was rushed to Kubwa General Hospital, from where he was referred to National Hospital, Abuja, but he could not make it back to life.
