Man Drowns While Evading Police Arrest In Rivers by goldcoinhub: 6:57am On Jun 12, 2018 |
A man identified simply as Oge has reportedly drowned in the Elechi River in the Diobu area of Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, while attempting to evade police arrest. According to reports gathered, Oge was in the area having fun with his friends around 4pm when the Police suddenly appeared and started shooting sporadically, which made everyone run to safety. Reports have it that the victim ran into river to escape the policemen. Oge who could not swim, eventually died in the river. Realising that Oge had drowned, some youths of the area reportedly protested against the incident after the policemen left. The protesting youths took the victim’s corpse to the Diobu Police Division and later to the Braithwaite Memorial Specialist Hospital, where doctors confirmed him dead. An eyewitness, who identified himself as Kelvin, said Oge jumped into the river out of fear of arrest and immediately drowned as he could not swim. Kelvin added that the policemen watched him as he struggled to safe himself from drowning, while residents that could have helped him stood afar to avoid being arrested by the security men. He said, “Oge was playing with his friends when the police arrived and started shooting. Everybody ran in different directions and he (Oge) jumped into the river. Another eyewitness, Michael, however, said the victim was in the toilet when the team of the policemen stormed the area, causing panic as they fired into the air. Michael said Oge ran out of the toilet and dived into the river to escape, and got drowned. “Oge was not a bad boy, he was relieving himself when the policemen came. He ran out of the toilet in panic. Unfortunately, he jumped into the river and drowned because he could not swim and we are all sad about it,”he added. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Nnamdi Omoni, said that the policemen were after suspected armed robbers and never shot at anybody. Omoni explained that the victim ought not to have dived into the river since he had nothing to do with the crime. He said: “Policemen were there to arrest some suspected armed robbers and the man suddenly jumped into the river and drowned. If you look at the body of the man, you will not see any gunshot injury in his body. https://lailasnews.com/man-drowns-while-evading-police-arrest-in-rivers/

So they just stood there n watched him drown? Even f he was a suspected criminal, has he been tried by any court of law n found guilty? Someone is saying why did he run? Not saying that's d right move but people react differently when they r in panic mode. Let's not forget ur dealing with a police force dat shoots first n asks questions later. 31 Likes 2 Shares |
