Ivan and his sibling, Eromonsele, who was also hit by a bullet in the eye but survived, just returned from school and went to their mother’s shop when the incident happened.

Speaking the Punch on Wednesday in Asaba, the deceased’s father, Mr Fidelis Omhonria, said that the family was going through a trying time, particularly over the condition of the surviving sibling.

He said, “We just finished the funeral service now at the St. Vienna Catholic Church, DBS Road. He has been laid to rest at the burial ground. He has gone to his maker. Our concern now is how to treat the child (sibling).

“NDLEA from operational headquarters and others were present at the burial ground and they are helping us to fast-track the visa to the United States for further treatment (of the sibling).

“The Delta State Government has written to the US embassy to fast-track the process so that the boy can go for treatment.

“Only God can console us at this time. Let God take control and care for our other son who has issues in his eyes. He’s now 1 year and a few months (old).”
