There was pandemonium at Ogbogoro- Famgbe road in Ogbogoro community, Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa State, as a motorist allegedly absconded with the corpse of a man killed by his driver.
It was gathered that the 34-year-old victim was taking a walk at Ogbogoro road when a speeding car crushed him from behind.
While police immediately apprehended the driver, owner of the vehicle saw that the car key was in the ignition and drove away with the corpse of the victim.
According to eyewitness, a team of ‘Police Special Ops’ on patrol in the area arrested the driver of the vehicle, but owner of the vehicle drove it away watched by a crowd of sympathisers.
At the time of filing this report, operatives of the state Police Command had launched a manhunt for the unidentified man that drove away the Nissan jeep.
The police manhunt, it was gathered, was being led by Azikoro Divisional Command, which arrested the driver.
It was further learnt that the police team went to the home of the car owner with the arrested driver, but he was not there.
A member of the police team, who spoke with our correspondent on condition of anonymity, stated that the killer Jeep was coming from the Famgbe end in high speed and ran into a curve close to Azikel Company and killed the man instantly.
Contacted on the development, Police Public Relations Officer, Asimin Butswat, said he was in Abuja for a seminar and would brief our correspondent on his return.
