Tragedy struck on 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.
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.
The Delta Police Public Relations Officer, DSP. Celestina Kalu, and the
Warri Area Commander, Mohammed Muazu, could not be reached for comment.
