Tragedy struck yesterday morning as a mother of a bride was shot dead by a soldier at the Ekpan
Junction, Uvwie Local Government Area of Delta.
According to Vanguard,
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 hi, 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
