President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed sadness over the
death of two-year-old Ivan Omhonrina, killed by a stray bullet during an
operation by officers of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at
Okpanam in Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.
Dele Alake, Special Adviser to the President on Special
Duties, Communications and Strategy, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday.
Recall that the child was struck by a stray bullet during an
operation by NDLEA operatives on Thursday.
“I mourn the death of little Ivan Omhonrina and sympathise
with his parents for the painful experience of losing an innocent child most
tragically.
“Ivan did not deserve to die that way. We must ensure the
incident did not end like that and that what happened to Ivan does not happen
to any other person again.
“I also pray for the quick recovery of Eronmonsele, who was
reportedly injured in that unfortunate event.
“That incident is unacceptable. We must unravel those who
foisted agony on the Omhonrinas and ensure they are brought to justice,”
President Tinubu said.
Meanwhile, the President has directed the NDLEA management
to speedily and thoroughly investigate the incident and punish those found
guilty.
Tinubu charged security agents to be more professional and
careful when conducting their operations to avoid risking the lives of innocent
Nigerians.
