A trigger-happy female soldier has allegedly cut short the life of a yet to be identified mentally deranged woman in Abia State.
The female soldier who is attached to the Ngwa High School Forward Operation Base in the state accidentally shot a mentally deranged woman at Osisioma junction leading to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation ( depot off Enugu-Aba-Port Harcourt expressway during an argument with a truck pusher.
A witness at the scene of the incident who didn’t want his name in print said the female soldier was having a heated argument with a truck pusher when she mistakenly fired some shots that hit the woman, killing her on the spot.
The witness said,
“The female soldier, I understand, told the truck pusher to take another route, but the truck pusher refused to heed to the instructions of the soldier. The soldier at that point, pushed the truck pusher who then charged at the soldier. The gun which had already being corked by the soldier in an apparent move to scare the truck pusher rented the air and in the process attracted other soldiers to the scene. The woman because of her mental state couldn’t run to safety when the incident was going on. She was in the process hit by several bullets while the man was dragging the gun with the soldier. The man was later whisked away into the Ngwa High School base of the Nigerian Army while the body of the dead woman was equally taken alongside with them.”
The lifeless body of the innocent woman had been deposited at the state morgue.
