Food vendor shot by DPO in Asaba, Delta state.

At 6:13Am, I received a tagged notification from Golden Mercy Blinkz to help get Justice for a Single mother who was shot by Police Stray Bullet.

She's a proud hardworking food seller and a single mother who cook and sell food in front of her house close to A Division Asaba..

HER STORY
"On 1st of February, 2018, I was selling as usual in front of my house close to A Division Asaba, Delta State. I have some customers eating and what I heard was noise in front of the police station. Some Hausa men were  protesting in front of the station and I quickly signaled my daughter and we both ran inside. After we noticed the area was calm we came out. The people we saw protesting which they said were (Hausa men) were no longer there. As I was trying to serve customers who were also police men, what I heard was gun shot and later found myself in Federal Medical Centre Asaba".

After she was discharged from the hospital, She went to A Division Asaba to lodge a complaint but the DPO told her such things happen and she has to take care of her Medical treatment and move on.

Investigations proved the DPO did the shooting  after the protesters had left the station.

I visited the victim this morning and she explained all that happened. She had to question her existence when the Police Boss told her to go and take care of herself.

She told me, "I'm Human, I was treated as nobody by those who are supposed to protect us"

I quickly put a call across to the DPO and be denied such incident ever happened but I should come to the Police station to find out. We further enquired from neighbors and was told the DPO fired the shot.

The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened.

If everyone reject you,  deny you and question your existence, reach out to me. Tomorrow will be taking her to hospital for proper examination and treatment.
