A yet-to-be-identified man has allegedly fallen off from police vehicle shortly and died in Anambra State.

The incident reportedly happened on Wednesday at Ọgbọ Ọgwụ Market, by Port Harcourt Road in Onitsha, the commercial city of the State.

According to a video currently trending on the social media and a masculine voiceover that accompanies it, the victim was arrested by some police officers who came into the market and also seized some goods from the traders in the market.

It was further alleged in the video that, shortly after the arrest, while the police officers were speeding off out of the market in their vehicle with the seized goods and the victim who was handcuffed, he fell from the vehicle and hit his head on the coal tar and “died.”

The video also shows the black-dressed man lying lifeless on the ground with handcuffs on his hand while people gathered, watching, lamenting, and making videos of him.

When contacted by this reporter, the Police Public Relations Officer of the Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed having seen the viral video.

He said he had also forwarded the video to the Onitsha Area Commander, for investigation, especially concerning the circumstances surrounding the incident and the alleged police involvement in the matter.

The Police Spokesman also disclosed that the Command had sued for calm, assuring that those behind such inhumane act would be unfailingly unmasked.

“I am aware of the trending video and have escalated to the Area Commander Onitsha for investigation, especially on the allegations that our officers were involved.

“Meanwhile, the Command has sued for calm and assured that we shall unmask those behind the inhuman act,” the PPRO said in a chat with this reporter, Izunna Okafor.

Another young life wasted by incompetent and evil police.

If Nigeria had a functioning justice system, this would be a great time to sue the police and Anambra State government into bankruptcy.

Yet the criminals in uniform are "suing for calm". Hope some nice UGM visit that station with a truckload of calm for the useless police.

Nawa o

Nigeria should just end.

What if he had been rushed to the hospital?

Dem still dey use those useless Toyota vehicle for 2024

Be like dem curse West Africa

Very useless police officers..make the family of the victim sue their useless ass.

Your guys are really frustrated. The last election brought out the insanity in you guys. You guys always look for bad news so you can curse, swear and abuse the government. You guys have become sadists

Omo, some people are really going through hatred-induced psychosis.

Immediately you give power to an average Nigerian, you've unleashed a beast in him. The kind of government we have reflects the kind of kind of citizens we have. That's why we keep on voting these beast into power because majority of us are beast in human form. What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide.

Wetin carry elections concern wetin i talk. I was never concerned about the election. Election that was never gonna save the cursed race.

Nigeria hard but police make am hardest.

The law say Innocent until proven guilty but suspect dead in custody. So who gets sued?

The police will claim that he wanted to escape by jumping out of the vehicle.... Simple!
