On Sunday Oct. 20, 2013 in Owerri the Imo State capital, a policeman in mufti was gunned down by suspected armed robbers. The robbers invaded Icefish Market along Uratta by Erekwerenwa Street, where they raided one of the cold-rooms belonging to a woman identified as Madam White.
 
Policemen who were on mufti around the area challenged them and there was a huge shoot out between the police officers and suspects, as people took to their heels.

Following the shootout, an unidentified policeman was shot on the head, a case that forced out his brains.
