An unnamed man reportedly fell off a moving police vehicle in Anambra and tragically died on Wednesday.
The incident occurred along the Ogbo-Ogwu Drug Market, near Port Harcourt Road in Onitsha, Anambra State's commercial hub.
A circulating video on social media appears to corroborate the incident, showing a voiceover describing how the victim, handcuffed and arrested by police officers who had entered the market, fell from the speeding vehicle as it left the market.
The victim allegedly struck his head on the road and succumbed to his injuries.
In the video, bystanders can be seen gathered around the lifeless body of the man, expressing shock and grief, while recording the scene on their phones.
In response to inquiries, the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, confirmed that he had viewed the viral video and had forwarded it to the Onitsha Area Commander for investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident and the potential involvement of the police.
Tochukwu emphasized the command's commitment to a thorough investigation, urging calm among the public and assuring that those responsible for the incident would be held accountable.
"I am aware of the trending video and I have escalated it to the Area Commander in Onitsha for investigation, especially on the allegations that our officers were involved.
Meanwhile, the command has sued for calm and assured that the police shall unmask those behind the inhuman act," he stated.
