FRSC Officials Shot By Police For Daring To Stop The Car Conveying Abia Speaker’s Wife

Reports have it that the Abia State House of Assembly Speaker, Chikwendu Kalu, on Saturday, allegedly ordered some policemen to shoot officers of the Federal Road Safety Corps on patrol.

Eyewitnesses who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH said the speaker the order was given when the FRSC officers stopped the Sport Utility Vehicle his wife was travelling in along the Umuikaa/Aba-Port Harcourt Expressway.

“WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED (BY THE FRSC OFFICIALS), THE DRIVER REFUSED TO STOP, ONLY FOR HIM TO STOP AT A DISTANCE.
“THE DRIVER REVERSED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A WOMAN IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IN FRONT, IS AN OFFICER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES ATTACHED TO THE GOVERNOR’S WIFE.
“THE DSS OFFICER RAN TOWARDS THE OFFICER WHO STOPPED THE VEHICLE, HELD HIM BY UNIFORM AND DRAGGED HIM TO THE GROUND, ACCUSING HIM OF HITTING THEIR VEHICLE.”

The source further added that the speaker’s wife joined the policemen to beat the official.

“ONE OF THEM CALLED THE SPEAKER WHOSE VILLAGE IS NEARBY. HE THEN CAME WITH SOME POLICEMEN. HE ORDERED THEM TO SHOOT THE ARMLESS OFFICERS WHO WERE SITTING INSIDE THE PATROL VEHICLE AND MERCILESSLY BEAT UP THE TEAM LEADER.
“THE POLICEMEN ALSO FORCEFULLY OPENED THE PATROL VEHICLE AND WENT AWAY WITH THE BATTERY. THEY LEFT THE TEAM LEADER AND THE OTHER OFFICIALS THAT WERE SHOT ON THE ROAD. OTHER ROAD USERS HELPED THEM TO THE HOSPITAL,” SAID THE SOURCE.

FRSC Corps Public Education Officer, Bisi Kazeem, confirmed the incident saying the incident has been “reported to the commissioner of police in the state for further investigations and that it won’t deter the FRSC from saving lives on the highways.”

When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to the speaker Mr. Okey Chikwendu promised to confirm the incident and get back to our correspondent. He had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

Efforts to get the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Geofrey Ogbonna, were unsuccessful as he neither picked calls made to his mobile nor responded to the text message sent.
