Just In : Thugs Break Leg Of Ex-Commissioner, Injured Four Policemen Who Tried To Arrest Them

former commissioner in Delta State, Leo Esegbue has accused the current deputy governor of the state, Monday Onyeme of mobilising thugs that attacked him and also injured four policemen.

In his account made available to SaharaReporters on Friday, Esegbue mentioned that his leg was broken by the hoodlums when he mobilised policemen to issue a court process to them.

“The police eventually arrested four of them and took them to Asaba only to get to Asaba and was told that the suspects called the Deputy Governor, Monday Onyeme who uses them as his thugs and he physically came to the police headquarters to meet the new CP who ordered they should all be released and they were all released to go home and they never showed up in the court on the 29th and the judge had to adjourn the case to the 29th May again.

“The police prosecutor is telling me he doesn’t know what to do again since he is a serving officer and he doesn’t want it to look as if he is fighting an institution he belongs to but that what is happening is they are trying to obstruct the prosecution of criminal justice.

“I was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre where l have been receiving treatment at my own cost. I got a lawyer to write to the CP reporting a case of attempted murder n assault occasioning harm which was stamped and received by the CP’s office.

“Till now no action, obviously the CP has not assigned the case for any investigation. I am helplessly confused.”
