According to a video shared on Monday by an X user #Ofenoni, the yet-to-be-identified victim drowned at the ‘waterside in Ubeji/ Egbokodo Itsekiri in Delta state.
The post claimed that operatives of the Delta Hawks chased the young man to his death.
“Information reaching me now that Operation Delta Hawk #DeltaPoliceNGchase a boy into a nearby River ( lake ) at Deeper Life Road waterside in Ubeji/ Egbokodo Itsekiri Community, both in Warri South local government area of Delta state. #Brightgoldenboy,” the post read.
