His relations said they had resolved to take the case to a juju priest so as to get to the root of the matter.
A
relative, Patrick Onyeka told Leadership Newspaper that the family
members took the decision because they do not believe the “stray bullet
story” as claimed by the police.
Police
Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, had
yesterday insisted that Clems was killed by a stray bullet, confirming
that a policeman in the escort team was also killed during the fierce
gun battle.
She disclosed that the police Monday morning arrested
six suspected persons in connection with the attack, adding that four
others suspected to be armed robbers were also killed along
Ogwashi-uku/Asaba express way during a robbery operation.
Speaking
further, DSP Kalu recalled that the vehicle used for the operation, a
Toyota Siena car with Reg No. AA261XX, was abandoned with the robbers
snatching another car from a motorist to escape.
While appealing
to family members of the Nollywood actor to take heart, the spokesperson
assured members of the public that the police would thoroughly probe
the incident, adding that the arrested suspects were already helping the
police with further investigation.
The robbers numbering over eight had stormed Asaba in a commando-style that fateful day.
They
reportedly trailed the bullion van from the Benin/Asaba Express way
through the Summit road and intercepted it along the DBS road before
U&I Foundation, where they engaged the police escort team in a
fierce gun battle.
A stray bullet was said to have hit the Nollywood actor who died soon after.
