While a version has it that the police officer was shot on the neck while he tried to peep through the window of the house they had surrounded, another version said that he was shot by the kidnapper while he was trying to gain entrance into the house with other members of the squad to effect the arrest of the suspect.

A source, who said that he saw the deceased police officer on Tuesday night when they carried out the operation, described the deceased as a fine police officer who was loved by people in and around the police barracks.

The source stated that the members of the Udobat’s squad fought hard to keep him alive but lost their colleague because he lost excess blood.

It was also gathered that Udobat, who is survived of his wife and four children, recently dedicated his new born baby before his untimely demise.
