Abonde was shot with his service gun, and then machetes were used to attack him by the unknown gunmen’s.
He was killed nine months after his retirement.
The video further highlighted the fixated attacks on policemen in different parts of the country since the #EndSARS crisis.

The minute-and-42-second video showed four dead police officers on the ground in a filthy room.
One of their wrists was severely severed.
In a pool of congealing blood, they were still dressed in their uniforms.
Another police officer’s voice could be heard bemoaning the heinous manner in which the men were killed
He also mentioned the names of the slain policemen as Sergeant Ejike, Inspector Michael, Inspector James and Sergeant Obuneme.
