Armed men of the Nigeria Navy have been alleged to have shot at a vehicle conveying three brothers who were on their way back from work on Monday 9th August,2021, killing one person, injuring others in Anambra State.

According to a survivor, Nebolisa Amaku who narrated the ugly incident, said the tragic event happened at Nteje in Oyi local government area of Anambra State.

Nebolisa affirmed that men of the Nigeria navy, carried out the attack which instantly killed his cousin, Chukwuma Adazu, while himself and his elder brother, Chukwunonso Nebolisa survived with serious bullet injuries and still receiving treatment at a medical facility.

According to Clement, their vehicle was riddled with live bullets by the Naval personnel at the said location.

In his words: “ I Was returning from the site where I do dredging at Aguleri, by my time record, it was about 7pm. I was in company of my elder brother Chukwunonso Nebolisa and my cousin Chukwuma Adazu.

On getting to the check point along Nteje in Oyi local government area of Anambra State, popularly known as Awkuzu junction, Navy officers stationed at the point opened fire on our vehicle. My cousin Chukwuma Adazu died on the spot. I and my elder brother sustained bullet injuries.

"The Naval officers who shot at us came closer, on realising we were unarmed, they helped stop a vehicle that took us to the hospital.

"We got a police report to that effect before my cousin's body was deposited in the mortuary."

The victims also gave an account of how a squad from the Nigerian police came and took his brother and other siblings from the hospital where they were being attended to medically.

"While at the hospital receiving treatment, between the hours of 10pm to 11pm, some men identified as Police officers from the State Anti Robbery squad (SARS) which I suspected to be, as also said by the hospital security officers, but they were on mufti. They came in and took my elder brother who was operated on by a specialist on Tuesday alongside my two younger brothers namely Kingsley Nebolisa and Innocent Nebolisa who were at the hospital taking care of us.

"I was awake, so I had to hide before they came into the ward were I was receiving treatment”

One of those taken from the hospital to the police station by the men of the Nigeria police, Kingsley Nebolisa, claimed that they were tortured by the policemen at the police station.

His exact words: "what I saw there was hell, I was hanged. They invaded the hospital in a commando style, they picked me and my elder brother who was just out from surgery, it was when we got to their vehicle, I affirmed my thoughts they they were members of SARS from OKuzor police station.

"They took off our clothes and asked us to lie-down on the floor and we were there till morning. I was taken to a room and hanged, they tagged us unknown gunmen.

"As we got to police station, I was tortured with a rod by a policeman I was stamped to the ground. I became very scared of my life because no one knew my whereabout."

Candidreporters.com put a call across to the Anambra state police public relation officer, DSP Ikenga. He however declined comment on the mater and referred our correspondent to Lieutenant Ajiko, the PRO of the Navy command of Anambra state. He also declined comment for a reason that he is in charge of public relations not Operations. He however gave the phone number of Lieutenant Enubiak, who was said to be in charge of operations in Anambra state. Enubiak:s number given by Lieutenant Atiko was tried several times and never connected as the time of filing this report.

RIP to the deceased and quick recoveries to the injured.

Anything concerning Nigeria ah don wash my hand comot. Find any hustle and do... make you fit japa this curse(9ja).

See anybody weh tell you say one day Nigeria go better, is just lying to you and to those that believe Nigeria will get better, even your great grand children will not see a better Nigeria. It will even get worst.

Nigeria a potential great country ruled by Human disasters in disguise of Polithiefcians(I wish them and there families DEATH).

This is a state of war. They that kill will be killed; in this game you are on your own. As a soldier, do not molest civilians. If you do, you are condemned to death already (I.e the Biblical position)

just too bad

Nigeria forces are like bandits

What a pity

My people, remain strong

And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.

Normally the rule of engagement you are not to shoot until ur shot at but not so here and unfortunately the situation in the East rn is kill or get killed. Chai my heart felt compassion to our Eastern brothers whose Governors n Elite folks are not doing enuf to help em

Mistaken.
This country eh.

It is unfortunate, Amnesty International should look into this, ditto the Nigerian human rights commission

This is despicable. How can you assume everyone in a vehicle is armed and should be gunned down at sight of the oncoming vehicle.

Again, our security officials making indiscriminate massive arrest and torture whereby many Innocents are killed is uncalled for.

Some OC's in volatile locations have deployed better means of arresting situations like this before the vehicles get closer. All passengers are dropped some meters before getting to security posts, raising their hands and filing past while the drivers are frisked and later joined the passengers that have successfully passed through security.

This might be time consuming but safer for both security men and commuters. It helps against indiscriminate shootings and wanton arrests.

RIP to the dead.

I know our forcemen can do anyhow but how did the occupants of the car conduct themselves at the check point? Were they the only ones travelling with a car along that road?

The east right now is volatile and we need to be very conscious of how we conduct ourselves around security checkpoints in order to avoid such stories.

A life lost can never be replaced and most times justice don't get served for erring officers in this country.

Na who dey alive dey win o!!!

So in which context did you come up with such a conclusion?

In the other mention u asked if I were a Christian?
Communication is complete if you understand what has been communicated to you.
Read the Bible and understand properly first.
I don't want to get into the Religion debate stuff,so let me leave it here.

When you visit violence upon a civilian as a military personnel, same violence will be meted against you in the fullness of time. This is the context.

This is very unfortunate. Kingsley is a graduate of Statistics in Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka. I know him very well and we were together in students council nine years ago. He's a very quiet guy, always smiling and avoiding troubles in every matter of students debacles and power tussle.

I guess our security agencies need a complete overhaul. They now show the height of cluelessness in tackling crime in the society.

The guy is innocent. I thought SARS has been disbanded?

Admin please take this to the front page and give voice to the voiceless.

These navy guys also shot the commissioner for lands today at the same spot.

what's going on

These days,e dey very necessary to always pray first before you comot from your house anytime... Because the way the country dey head towards so,very soon them go begin tag every southern youth wey dey good looking as either as unknown gunmen,or kidnapped just to nail am for cross
