Doctors at the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, UUTH, Akwa Ibom State, are battling to save the life of a man who was shot in the face by a soldier in Uyo.
The shooting, which has left residents of the city in shock, occurred on Wednesday around 12.45 p.m. at Asutan Street, off Wellington Bassey Way, Uyo.
Witnesses told PREMIUM TIMES that they saw a white Toyota Hilux belonging to Wizchino Engineering Ltd, with the license plate number ABC 222 AY, pulled up suddenly behind a 14-seater bus belonging to the Akwa Ibom State Judiciary.
The witnesses said they saw an armed soldier hurriedly step down from the Wizchino pick-up truck, rush to the judiciary bus and shoot the driver at a close range.
Wizchino is a Chinese firm handling road construction contracts for the Akwa Ibom government.
“It happened within seconds. Before we could figure out what was going on, the soldier fled the scene with the truck,” one of the witnesses said.
“The soldier wasn’t the one who drove the truck; it was driven by another person.”
The victim was later identified as Godwin Udoaka, a driver attached to the judiciary in Akwa Ibom.
