“The officer was travelling in his civil dress, with his private vehicle and without escort or any special security at the time of the incident.”

“He was not targeted as a cop. It was purely an opportunistic crime, indiscriminately and maliciously targeted at citizens using that particular road. He was, perhaps, positionally unlucky at the time of the incident!”, Mba said in a statement.
