Family seeks justice as soldiers reportedly kill their daughter while chasing a car carrying illicit product in Rivers State

A 25-year-old lady, Damietta Green, has passed on after she was hit by a bullet suspected to have been fired by a soldier in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

It was gathered that the unfortunate incident happened on Tuesday, September 6, along Harbour Road area of Port Harcourt. The Nation reports that soldiers who are posted on guard duty at the Nigeria Correctional Centre (Prison) facility, usually mount roadblocks around the area to extœrt money from transporters of illegal refined petroleum product (kpofire). Various sources told The Nation that the madness was triggered when a Toyota Camry car suspected to be conveying the illicit product refused to stop.

The soldier pursued the car and jumped on the bonnet. When the car refused to stop, he started shooting indiscriminately. “There were many vehicles trapped in the gridlock caused by the checkpoint and the victim was in one of those vehicles, a Lexus 330 salon car,” a source said. It was learnt that the errant driver of the Toyota Camry escaped the scene unhurt, but the vehicle was towed to the nearby Central Police Station.

Other passengers in the car told The Nation at UPTH that they were going home from a sales meeting when the driver of the Lexus car offered them a ride. “We know him (driver) in Town (a suburb of the city) and he offered us a ride home. We were at the checkpoint when the shooting started,” one of the victim’s friends said. Emmanuel Oluwaseun, who offered the lady the ride, confirmed the story. He said the bullets went through the back passenger door and lodged into the back of the victim, who sat at the back of the car with another passenger.

“In the confusion, she was shouting that she had been shot, but we couldn’t do anything because the soldier was just shooting. When the chaos eased, we rushed her to the Central Police Station. “The medical personnel said the matter was beyond them. They referred us to BMH (Braithwaite Memorial Hospital) where she was given some treatment and referred to UPTH where she died.” he said.

May we not be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Always acting unprofessional. Young life wasted just like that by a terrorist in uniform.

I feel sad reading this unfortunate incident


RIP!

Godfullsam:
May we not be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Amen o

All this abokis in uniform they handed guns over to all need mental health assessment.

I saw some the other day on their van singing Their moral song.
Which country Forcs sings their moral song at public to scare the masses or what.
While outside the shores of Nigeria you hardly see Their solider outside

Godfullsam:
May we not be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Amen

Nigeria is gone

Nigerian soldiers acting so unprofessional in many scenarios.

The only training given to these bums in their shithole training facility is how to shout "e sobey!!!" Apart from the question of how stvpid it is for a military to be doing the work of law enforcement, why the hell would soldiers be shooting indiscriminately in an urban setting?!

And nothing will happen to the useless soldier, infact they may promote him. Walai I'm relocating as soon as possible to live in a saner country

Justice still dey dis Country?

so what's the work of the hospital and those people inside are they not meant to save life's..
many dead people should have survived but hospitals keep rejecting them.

To think these soldiers were employed and trained to protect people….

True

Omg

Haa, hmmn.

Damnnn niggar

Rest in peace young woman

For everyday we wake we are faced with more than a hundred ways to die

Killing an innocent lady not even for a reasonable cause but because someone refused to rob your palm or do they really care if the country is saturated with illicit drugs?

Incompetence had always been a major challenge in Nigeria since it's conception: if it's not an incompetent architec designing one death trap or another, it will be a policeman committing manslaughter. If it's not a governor managing a state like his personal estate it will be the president pardoning terrorists and sponsoring their education abroad.

Is this how Nigeria will bounce back and become a force to reckon with in the comity of Nations? I most certainly hope not.

Rest in peace to the innocent lady; you're a victim of incompetence.

So a "medical personnel" in a central police station cannot handle a bullet wound victim?

RIP

Another very painful and avoidable death

Unknown soldiers at it again, mounting illegal road block and extorting money from people carrying illegal products.

Corruption killing innocent people since the days of Lord Lugard.

E

The way soldiers and police operates in the south is different from the north, this northern people have taken south for granted too much.may the soul of the innocent girl rest in peace.
