Tragedy struck on Saturday as a 35-year-old mother of two was shot dead at the Yenizue-Gene area of Yenagoa, Bayelsa State by an alleged ‘drunk’ naval operative.
The victim, a food vendor, was identified as Mrs Chioma Precious Okwuadigbo.
Eyewitnesses said the mother of two met her untimely death in the early hours of the day some distance away from a popular Club along Baybridge road in the heart of the state capital where she was plying her trade.
Vanguard reports that the deceased was engaged in a heated argument with some uniformed men suspected to be naval operatives when one of them believed to be drunk fired a shot.

The bullet was said to have hit the woman, killing her on the spot before any assistance could be rendered.
A security source said though some persons at the scene of the crime were invited by the police for interrogation, adding that no arrest had been made.
She, however, added that the matter is expected to be transferred to the State CID today (Monday).
