GOVERNOR OKOROCHA'S ADC BEAT POLICEMAN TO A STATE OF UNCONSCIOUSNESS

Around 12:30am on Saturday, the Aide-de-Camp to the Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Omo Gabriel, and two other police officers allegedly beat up a policeman, Corporal Itere Ewedor, attached to the state government house for delaying in opening the gate for the governor’s convoy returning from his wife’s birthday party. I learnt the beating left the policeman unconscious.

According to a friend of the victim, Mr. David Edhie, when  the governor's convoy got to the gate, the men of the civil defence corps and members of the Imo orientation corps, who were supposed to open the gate, were not around. So, there was a delay. Then his friend,  Corporal Itere Ewedor, went to open the gate. When the convoy drove in, the ADC, a superintendent of police, and two other senior police officers came down and asked him why he delayed. They wanted to collect his gun, but he refused. So, they started beating him. They beat him until he became unconscious, with bruises all over his face and parts of his body.

The ADC took Ewedor, in his unconscious state, to Shell Camp Police Station and requested that he be detained but the police officers at the station refused. They said they could not detain someone that was dying. Then Gabriel made arrangements for Ewedor to be taken to the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, where he was admitted. After sometime, he regained consciousness and was discharged from the hospital around 5pm on Saturday. What can fa all this nonsense, someone needs to check the excesses of these governors' boys. They should be charged with assault.
