A bizarre
incident occurred at Effurun when an apprentice to a tipper driver who was
affecting repairs in his principal's tipper opposite a popular motor park was
allegedly shot on one of his foot by a trigger happy mobile police man attached
to the said ever busy motor park on the afternoon of Tuesday 16th August,
2016.
It was gathered
that a commercial bus driver who parked at the front of the said motor in an
attempt to pick up a passenger was apprehended by a tout in the motor park who
together with other workers of the motor park allegedly beat up the
commercial bus driver to a pulp destroying the wind screen of his vehicle in
the process, to the annoyance of passersby and even travelers in the motor
park.
Trouble started for
the said apprentice who was effecting repairs on his principal's tipper at the
opposite side of motor park when he was said to have condemned the alleged
manhandling of the commercial bus driver by the workers of the motor park like
others as he was said to have asked that if it is an offense for a vehicle to
park at the front of a motor park to the hearing and annoyance of the trigger
happy mobile police man who cocked his gun and allegedly went to the tipper at
the opposite side of the motor park and fired a bullet at one of the foots of
the harmless apprentice 'for opening his mouth too wide on the matter' to the
annoyance of motorists and on lookers who witnessed the bizarre incident which
consequently triggered a public protest in the area.
It was also
gathered that it was the intervention of soldiers attached to a tent close to
the motor park who were said to have also condemned the act of the trigger
happy mobile policeman and an Uvwie born patriot Hon Collins Igharakpata that
brought the situation under control.
Meanwhile the
injured apprentice is said to be receiving treatment at a nearby military
hospital and the matter was reported to the police, at as the time of filling
this report.
