An eyewitness told newsmen that the incident happened when the mother of the suspect invited the NSCDC personnel to assist in chaining the boy to restrain him from being a nuisance in the society.
The eyewitness, who said the boy had been mentally unstable for years, said he removed a knife from the civil defence personnel and stabbed him severally.
“Actually, when the boy started misbehaving this morning, his mother invited two civil defence officers to help her chain him.
“Meanwhile, in the process, he overpowered the civil defence personnel and removed knife from the man and stabbed him.
“But, it was unfortunate that the NSCDC man died despite having a gun when the incident happened,” the eyewitness said.
DSC Daniel Aidamenbor, NSCDC, Head of Public Relations Office in the state, confirmed the incident.
The development comes days after a mentally unstable man killed a soldier in Lagos State.
