Tragedy
struck this Saturday morning as a mother of a bride was allegedly shot dead by a
soldier at the Ekpan Junction, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta.
The deceased was on her way to the wedding ceremony of her daughter when the
incident occurred. The first son of the deceased, Alero said a keke operator
flouted the soldier’s order when he was flagged down and the soldier opened
fire leading to the deceased death.
According
to him, this reason is not enough for one of the soldiers to release bullets on
my mother. The sister told newsmen at the Ekpan Police station that the
killer-soldier had been whisked away by members of the JTF contrary to reports
that he had been arrested.
She also said that colleagues of the killer-soldier
at the roadblock had been taken to Warri Area Command for questioning. “They
have not arrested the soldier.
JTF
whisked him away. His colleagues at the road block together with him are now at
Warri Area Command. “It was my mother that was shot not my sister that is
wedding today. She was coming for the wedding,” she said.
