An eyewitness who pleaded anonymity while speaking to the Nation said the suspects arrived at the PoS shop in an attempt to rob their victim but were resisted.

The eyewitness said, “They shot at the PoS operator thrice and the gunshots couldn’t penetrate and as they were escaping, shot at Tega at the head and one other person on the leg.”

Efforts to speak with the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Onome Onowakpoyeya, were not successful, but a senior police officer attached to the Ughelli Area command confirms the incident.
