The Enugu State Police Command on Tuesday confirmed the tragic death of a police inspector, Dr Ikechukwu Obodo, who was killed in a fatal hit-and-run motor-pedestrian accident within the state.
The deceased, a Doctor of Philosophy holder from the Nkpologu community in Enugu State, was attached to the Operations Department at the State Police Command Headquarters at the time of the incident.
The command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, confirmed the development in an official statement issued in Enugu.
Ndukwe noted that the clarification became crucial following what he described as misleading social media reports alleging that the high-ranking officer was crushed by a police convoy.
While the command spokesman did not disclose the exact time and specific location where the fatal accident occurred, he assured the public that the incident was being actively investigated.
