which comprises of the Army, Police, DSS, NSCDC and Vigilante flagged down an unregistered Lexus jeep with tinted glasses for a routine check but the two male occupants in a suspicIous manner beat the security men and sped off towards the Ajaga bush camp in Asaba.

“Some members of the Operation Delta Hawk (OPDH) in pursuit opened fire on the vehicie in a bid to demobilise it and arrest the occupants.

“The driver of the Lexus car, one Joshua Ona ‘m’ 30yrs was hit by stray bullet and immediately rushed to New General Hospitai Okpanam for treatment while the vehicle was recovered to OPDH Headquarters.

“Thereafter, information received that a woman who was identified as Amaka Ohanaja a trader in her shop around the same axis was alleged to have been hit by stray bullet and consequenty died.

“While the incident is highly regrettable and condemnable. We wish to assure the family of the deceased and members of the public that Police have no hand in it and that the incident will be discretely investigated and the culprit brought to book.”

    What a shame, from your narration, you said your men started shooting at the escaping Lexus jeep to the extent that the driver was caught by one of the bullets and you are still denying that you are not responsible for the stray bullet that killed an innocent woman in the same vicinity… what kind of a police force do we have, can’t they ever learn?.
