An eyewitness narrating the incident said that “The driver of the vehicle then called the owner, Airforce personnel who came to the cultural center with some armed officers. And because the tires were flattened, some arguments started, while we were trying to work out things. The Airforce officer pulled out his gun and fired at Asuquo who was very vocal during the argument.”
According to sources, the driver of the vehicle who called the Airforce personnel have been arrested and is currently in the custody of the Anti Kidnapping squad while the Airforce personnel is on the run. The Nigerian Airforce authority is yet to make a statement over the unfortunate incident.
