‘When we are approaching Wowyen village along Akwanga/Lafia road that is between Police Mobile Training College, Ende Hills and the village towards the bridge.
‘I heard gunshots at the driver’s side of my car in which I was the one driving. The bullet broke down the glasses of my car. The shots were targeted at the driver in which I was the one driving, so this gave me a suspicion that someone was monitoring my movement and knew that I was the one driving.
