Female neighborhood head candidate targeted in two armed attacks within 4 days

The incident occurred around 22:00 on 1063rd Street in the Yavuz Selim neighborhood of Bağcılar. According to the information obtained, Münevver Adan, one of the candidates for the Yavuz Selim neighborhood head, was subjected to an armed attack for the second time in 4 days as the election race nears its end. 

It was learned that approximately 4 days before the latest incident, individuals suspected to be the same people came to the front of the place Adan uses as an election office during the night and fired 5 shots.

Female candidate Münevver Adan and her relatives experienced great panic due to the armed attack that took place around 22:00. The identities of the masked individuals who arrived on a motorcycle without a license plate and opened fire could not be determined.

"THEY FIRED 5 SHOTS INTO THE AIR AND LEFT"

Stating that the attack was repeated for the second time within four days and was done to intimidate them, Münevver Adan said, “I am a candidate for the Yavuz Selim neighborhood head. I am continuing my work. About 4 days ago, they fired 5 shots into the air in front of the office. Today, they fired into the air again. 

I think they are doing this to scare us. We don't know who they are. There are 3 candidates including me; one of the candidates is doing this. Police teams conducted an investigation the other day, but they couldn't find anything because there was no license plate and they had helmets on their heads. We have official reports. They came today as well and filed a report. 

No verbal threat has reached us either. Last time it was around 02:00, they fired 5 shots into the air and left. They look at the office, fire into the air, and leave. We couldn't understand the reason for this; we have no safety of life,” she stated.

Stating that she is concerned about her safety, Adan expects the individuals to be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible. The police teams' investigation into the incident is ongoing.
