Enugu State Deputy Governor Orders Driver To Pay N60,000 To Replaced Broken Car Mirror

Mr. Uche Ijeoma is a cooling van driver in Enugu, who allegedly hit the Prado Jeep on the convoy of the State Deputy Governor, Rev. Ifeanyi Nwoye last week

Uche claimed that he had parked his van off the road on hearing the siren but while other pilot vehicle ahead of the Deputy Governor’s jeep had passed, the driver of the vehicle conveying the Deputy Governor came very close to the van and smashed the right side mirror at the back of the van.

He said. “Only the mirror was damaged and I can tell you that it was not my fault because I have parked off the road. The mobile policemen on the convoy stopped and beat me mercilessly using the butt of their guns to hit my head.

“Thereafter, they towed my vehicle to the New Haven Police Station, where I was detained and later granted bail.

“I was later told by the Deputy Governor’s security men that I have to pay N60,000 for replacement of the mirror but I could not afford it because the owner of the van was not in town since then and I could not raise such money.”
