A swift statement by DSP
Celestina Kalu (Mrs.), Police Public Relations Officer, Delta State Command
said that the victim, a Cadet ASP attached to the Ebrumede Police Division was
on duty at about 11am at the point where he was hit by Igbekele.
“The cadet officer died on the way to the hospital. The
aforementioned driver has been arrested, and he claimed to have lost control of
the vehicle. Meanwhile investigation into the incident has commenced with a
view to determining whether the action of the driver was deliberate or
otherwise.
“The Command wishes to warn all motorists against
careless driving as anyone caught will be made to face the full wrath of the
law”, DSP Kalu stated.
A witness at the scene
however said, “It is a pity, but the police need to watch their ways.
It beats my imagination why policemen should mount checkpoints and road blocks
at a roundabout, not in the least a busy one like the DSC Roundabout. It is
unfortunate like I said, but it is avoidable for police to hang around
roundabouts.”
