About eight people sustained injuries after a hunter’s gun accidentally discharged during the Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (LCCN) national convention in Demsa Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The hunter, a member of the Hunters Association from Kukta Village, Song LGA, was reportedly providing security at the event on Tuesday when his Dane gun fell and discharged multiple shots.
According to police spokesperson, SP Suleiman Yahaya Nguroje, the victims are currently receiving treatment at a medical facility in Demsa.
The hunter has been arrested, though his identity remains undisclosed pending investigation.
Commissioner of Police, CP Dankombo Morris, condemned the incident, cautioning hunters, vigilantes, and local security groups against carrying arms—especially Dane guns—at public gatherings.
