He said his sister, who was standing in front of her house, was hit by a stray bullet.

Idowu noted that the officers rushed her to a hospital and later fled, adding that his pregnant sister died the same night.

“Those men normally station their vans along Ageva. A soldier told me that they wanted to arrest the bus driver because he and his colleagues misbehaved to some of their officers in Okene,” he added.
