Family of Woman Killed by Soldier on Daughter’s Wedding Day Offered N200k as Compensation

The Commanding Officer of the 3 Battalion Effurun Division, Major Azanku, allegedly offered N200,000 as compensation to the family of Mrs. Alice Akparobi Orobogha, who was shot dead by a soldier in Delta State to avoid legal battle after the family demanded the culprit be brought to book. The family however rejected the offer.

According to Sahara reporters, the deceased, a middle aged level twelve judicial officer with Oleh High Court, had been on her way to her daughter’s wedding when she shot by one of the soldiers deployed to enforce the no-movement restriction during environmental sanitation at Jakpa Junction, Uvwie council area of Delta State on April 30, 2016.

Her son, Shedrack Aktarobi, has appealed to the State and Federal governments to immediately intervene in the matter and ensure that justice is served.
