Reports said the incident happened at the police college quarters, of the Police headquarters in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Sources disclosed that the police officer had a misunderstanding with his wife of which neighbours tried intervening but the officer refused to listen.
The source said; “He and his wife have been having issues for some time now; we tried to settle it amicably, but he refused.
“The wife told her parents that the sergeant assaulted her; she moved her things out of his house. The wife left due to severe maltreatment by her husband.
“He started shooting and threatened to kill everyone. Unfortunately, he shot people, but six mobile policemen died and two others are currently receiving treatment at Specialist Hospital.
