Police Operatives of Delta Hawk have allegedly killed an unidentified woman while chasing a driver named Joshua along hospital road in Asaba, Delta State.
It was gathered that the police operative flagged down Joshua’s car but he refused to stop and they pursued him while shooting sporadically.
The stray bullet hit the woman while Joshua is currently battling with his life in the hospital.
“This triggered the police to run after him shooting sporadically into thin air and one of the bullets hit a passerby and she died instantly.”
They kept chasing him, riddling his car with bullets and Joshua was hit. He parked and the police officers dragged him out of the car and left him on the road while they whisked away his car,” a source said.
However, Joshua was rushed to the hospital, the deceased deposited at the morgue.
Angry residents including Advocate Harrison Gwamnishu, have taken to social media using #EndDeltaHawk to call on the Delta State Government to ensure justice is served in the matter.
A protest has also been started for the 23rd December in Asaba to demand the end of Delta hawk.
