Family Of Slain Nollywood Actor Takes Case To Traditional Priest

Angered by what they described as foul play with the death of a popular Nollywood actor, Clems Onyeka, after he was killed by stray bullet from armed robbers, who also attacked a bullion van in Asaba, Delta State. Relations of the victim have taken their case to a juju priest, and they vowed not to rest until they get to the root of the matter.
Some of the aggrieved relations, including Patrick Onyeka told The Leadership in Asaba that the family members resolved to take the case to a juju priest for perspicacious judgment; saying that they do not believe in the stray bullet story as vehemently claimed by the police.

As it were, the robbers, according to dependable sources, 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 team on escort duty in a fierce gun battle, allegedly killing the popular Nollywood actor by stray bullet.

Police public relations officer in the state, DSP Celestina Kalu, who insisted yesterday that the Nollywood actor was killed by a stray bullet, said that a policeman in the police escort team was also killed during the fierce gun battle. She disclosed that the police in the early hours of yesterday, have 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.

While appealing to family members of the Nollywood actor to take everything with equanimity; DSP Kalu assured members of the public that the police would get to the root of the incident; adding that the arrested suspects are already helping the police with further investigation.
