she was shot while sitting  in a taxi on her way to work, Tuesday February 20, 2018.

According to a passenger who was in same taxi, they stopped at Gana Street to drop a military woman who was in the same taxi. The passenger narrates that it's then that the officers standing at Mobil-Nkwen held the driver for parking wrongly.

Reports say as an argument ensued, the taxi driver refused to give his car documents and instead took a U-Turn back into Gana Street. According to eyewitness accounts, they officers opened fire, shooting indiscriminately and unfortunately, Dr Veh Dinga-Nyoh of PMI Nkwen Bamenda was caught in the back.

She's presently at the Bamenda Regional Hospital for urgent surgical intervention. She was shot on the lower part of the back precisely on the right side, we have been told.

National Telegraph has also gathered that the urgent surgical intervention is being carried out to extract the bullet and to verify if any damages were done on her internal organs especially as the bullet hole is closer to the kidney. Reports just in say She has been flown to Yaounde for proper care.
