An electrician working at a building site along Isah road Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South local government area of Delta State has been allegedly shot dead by the police.
Eye witness account said that officers attached to the Delta Hawks team, the new security outfit were last Friday chasing some boys suspected to be yahoo driving in a red colour Lexus car into the bush where the building site was located.
According to the account, on getting to the site, the policemen started to shoot sporadically and in the process, the young electrician, one Onochie Obicenyi, an indigene of Okpanam in Aniocha North Local Government Area of the state was hit on the head even as he was left in his pool of blood while the killers escaped.
