It would be recalled that Linda Angela Igwetu was allegedly shot dead on Wednesday July 4th, 2018 in Abuja by a SARS officer identified as Benjamin Peters.
Late Angela was billed to pass out of NYSC on Thursday July 5, as she was said to have gone out with her friends as part of the celebration for the completion of her one year service when the policeman shot her.
