Two mobile policemen, a driver accompanying the wife of the member, Delta State House of Assembly (DSHA), have been reportedly shot dead.
The death occurred Monday night when Mrs Christy Uroye, wife of Hon. Augustine Uroye, representing Warri South 1 constituency, was kidnapped.
The bloody incident occurred at about 7 pm on Jakpa Road, Uwvie local government area of Delta State.
According to an eyewitness, “The security personnel and the woman’s driver were instantly shot dead before whisking the wife of the lawmaker, Christy, away. But unfortunately for them (kidnappers), their getaway car had an accident which enabled the woman to escape.”
Passersby were seen wailing beside the woman’s SUV, watching the horrifying scene and corpses of the shot policemen and driver.
Reports say that the lucky wife of the lawmaker is presently receiving treatment in an undisclosed hospital as at the time of this report.
Delta State police public relations officer (PPRO) Bright Edafe, a superintendent of police SP, said that “the operation was unsuccessful.”
