The family of two-year-old Eromonsele Omhonria, who was shot in the eye by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in Delta State, has decried abandonment, saying the toddler has not received any treatment since the incident occurred.
It was gathered that the elder brother of the victim, Ivan, died in the incident from bullets fired by the NDLEA officers.
The NDLEA officers were said to be conducting a raid nearby on July 13, 2024, when the children were struck by stray bullets.
Ivan was two years old, while Eromonsele was one year old at the time of the incident.
Speaking when the House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions entertained the matter on Tuesday, the parents of the children said they had been abandoned by the agency.
Present at the House were the parents of the children, their lawyer, and representatives of the NDLEA
