More to be heard on the tragic death of a popular Nollywood
actor, Clems Onyeka, who was alleged killed by suspected armed robbers, in
Asaba, Delta State.
His relations said they had resolved to take the case to a juju priest so as to
get to the root of the matter,while granting interview to Leadership Newspaper.
A relative, Patrick Onyeka told Leadership Newspaper that the family members
took the decision because they do not believe the “stray bullet story” as
claimed by the police.
Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, had yesterday
insisted that Clems was killed by a stray bullet, confirming that a policeman
in the escort team was also killed during the fierce gun battle.
She disclosed that the police Monday morning arrested six suspected persons in
connection with the attack, adding that four others suspected to be armed
robbers were also killed along Ogwashi-uku/Asaba express way during a robbery
operation.
Speaking further, DSP Kalu recalled that the vehicle used for the operation, a
Toyota Siena car with Reg No. AA261XX, was abandoned with the robbers snatching
another car from a motorist to escape.
While appealing to family members of the Nollywood actor to take heart, the
spokesperson assured members of the public that the police would thoroughly
probe the incident, adding that the arrested suspects were already helping the
police with further investigation.
The robbers numbering over eight had stormed Asaba in a commando-style that
fateful day.
They reportedly trailed the bullion van from the Benin/Asaba Express way
through the Summit road and intercepted it along the DBS road before U&I
Foundation, where they engaged the police escort team in a fierce gun battle.
A stray bullet was said to have hit the Nollywood actor who died soon after.
They should allow this young man to RIP or what is your take on this.
