 Policemen Shoot At Women Protesting Against Extortion In Delta State, As Many Injured 


It was a chaotic situation in Oteri-Ughelli community, Delta State as policemen attached to the Ughelli Area Command, Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, shot at protesting women in the area resulting to many sustaining severe injuries.


According to report,  the trouble started when the women of Oteri-Ughelli community in the local government council protested to the Ughelli area command of the Nigeria police force over alleged police extortion and incessant harassment from the Nigerian police. 


It was gathered that the women in their hundreds protested peacefully but on arrival at the area command were rebuffed, attacked, tear-gassed and shot at by the men and officers of the area command resulting to many of the women sustaining different degrees of injuries and taken to the hospital for treatment.


The protesting women, Harvest Ugbhwiako and Mrs. Vivian Aphiare alleged that the police arrested and detained their children and wards who were on errands unlawfully and collected between N150,000 and N200,000 before they were granted bail.


Reacting to the development at the emergency ward of the Ughelli general hospital where the injured women were taken to for treatment, the president general of the community, Efe Erakpofoke Peter condemned the action of the police saying that the women from the Oteri community were in a peaceful protest to the palace of Ovie of Ughelli kingdom and the area commander to register their grievances.


"The area commander called me to appeal to my people to go home that he would look into their complaints but before that what we heard next was that police started shooting and teargassing the protesters.
