The two policemen whose identities had yet to be ascertained as of press time were said to have escorted two persons to the wedding.

Our correspondent gathered that the policemen were saved from being attacked by angry youths, as members of the bride’s family insisted that blood would not be spilled in their house.

A source at the wedding ceremony, who gave his name as Ugo, on Monday said that one of the policemen was drunk, and that he shot in the air to impress his boss who was spraying money.

“He lost control of his rifle and shot two onlookers.” the source said.
