#EndBadGovernance: Panic As Police Stray Bullet Hits Dispatcher During Protest (Video)

A dispatcher was allegedly shot by a police officer in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State yesterday during the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest.

The incident occurred when one of the policemen stationed at the Otovwodo axis of the East-West road allegedly shot and injured the dispatcher identified as Kester Eloho Ben.

The victim who is in his 20s, was said to be heading to Uwheru community to deliver a herbal drug to his company client when the unfortunate incident occurred.

The shooting, according to reports, triggered the protesters who took to burning tyres and pelting sachet water at the police.

Speaking to newsmen at his hospital bed, Mr Kester said, “I was on my way to Uwheru community to deliver an item and while I was waiting for either motorcycle or tricycle when I suddenly felt a strange object in my left arm.

“I was about to board a bike when I felt something strange on my left hand and my phone fell of my hand, as I was about to pick up the phone I noticed that my hand was shaking.

“It was a stray bullet from the police that hit me and it was an Okada man that rushed me to the hospital when the police never showed concern.”

“I was not among the protesters, I was only going to deliver an item to a customer when I was shot and the medical team attended to me immediately I was brought in.”
