A University of Port Harcourt Mechanical Engineering
student Edah Oghenekevwe Richard lost his life last night
after he was allegedly knocked down by a police van driving
one-way.
Richard, whose birthday it was yesterday, was on his way
back from Church and standing along Assemblies of God
Church junction in Alakahia, PH, when he was allegedly hit
by Police Van with registration number NPF 1791D driven by
Inspector John Kanu

The police van after hitting the boy, tried to drive off but
were stopped by onlookers at the junction and eyewitnesses
who demanded that the victim be taken to the hospital.
The police agreed and took him to the University of
Portharcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH), but on reaching
there, they allegedly told the attending nurses that they just
picked him while they were driving along NNPC Filling station
at Rumuosi and they weren't aware of what had happened to
him." a source close to the case told LIB exclusively


It was one of the nurses in the hospital that took down the
details of one of the policemen involved. When called by the
family members of the boy, the policeman denied it in it's
entirety. The police up till now are still denying the incident
despite the several onlookers and eyewitnesses that were at
the scene of the accident." he added
Edah Oghenekevwe Richard (in hospital last night), who is
supposed to serve next year in Batch A of the NYSC died last
night at 7.30pm. May his Soul Rest in Peace. Amen!

Jeeeez. ..... This is not pleasing to the eyes at all

So unfortunate... Just when his Facebook wall was filled with birthday wishes, the next thing we saw was RIP.
After all the hustling and struggling snapping Picture in Uniport to finally killed by some good for nothing Police.

That is why u see some policemen Surfing aftre 35years of working.

It shall not be we with him except he own up to the case, outer and inner peace shall elude him IJN

Nigeria is a mad town. The same way a man was killed here in Owerri two months ago. Joke of a country! If the people who should obey the law flout it so flagrantly, should we all not join them and make this place hell? These days it's safer to look at the wrong lane before crossing the road.
May God console those he left behind.

really sad news. I have know Kewve since 2005 when he used to snap picture in front of Mandela hall, Abuja park. He was a really hard working guy who sponsored himself through uniport by hustling. I am really shocked seeing picture of him on nairaland. I hope he rest in peace.

Rip bro,this is so unfortunate. Nigeria is a failed country,cos I see no reason why the custodians of the law are breaking it by ply one way route. May that police officer suffer and know no peace unless he confesses,ijn. Amen.

Chai, this is sad.

RIP
