Horror As DSS Official Shoots Bride, Groom & Guests At Wedding Reception

A wedding reception in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State on Saturday evening turned sour after an official of the Department of State Services (DSS) went berserk and shot at the newly wedded couple and guests.

According to Nigerian Tribune, witnesses said the incident left some guests injured. There are, however, conflicting reports about the state of the newly-weds. While one report said the bride and bridegroom died before reaching the hospital, another said the couple, alongside other victims, were in the hospital responding to the treatment.

It was learnt further that the official, whose name is yet to be disclosed, appeared suddenly when the couple was dancing, started shooting sporadically and later shot at the couple and guests.

According to one of the witnesses, “after shooting the couple and other guests, he attempted to flee but some youths at the event caught him. He was beaten up and the the arrival of policemen saved him from being beaten to death.”
