THE
Rivers State Police Command said it had arrested the Leader of the
Rivers State House of Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, for the alleged murder
of his kinsman, Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo and a police sergeant, Urang Obediah.
A statement made available to The PUNCH
on Thursday night indicated that Lloyd was purportedly arrested on his
way to join the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in his private jet
in order to escape justice.
The statement sent via e-mail by the
State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, specified
that Lloyd knocked down Obediah while pursuing Ejeuo, identified to be
his political opponent.
Lloyd, who was still standing trial for
his involvement in the fracas that took place in the State House on July
9, 2013, was said to have rammed into Ejeuo’s Passat car with a
bulletproof vehicle and killed him (Ejeo).
The police command pointed out that it
had initially thought it was an auto accident until Lloyd relocated to
another hospital, “conscious of what he did.”
