Governor Rochas Okorocha’s Aide Beats Mobile Policeman To Coma In Imo
Dec 2nd, 2012 – Governor Rochas Okorocha’s ADS Beats Mobile Policeman (Mopol) To Coma In Imo State
The Aide-de-Camp to the Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Omo Gabriel, and two other police officers on Saturday, allegedly beat up a policeman attached the state government house for delaying in opening the gate for the governor’s convoy.
The incident, which occurred around 12:30am, when the governor returned from his wife’s birthday party, left the victim unconscious.
The mobile policeman, Corporal Itere Ewedor, was said to have been on duty at the security post when the governor’s convoy drove in.
Efforts to speak to Ewedor on Saturday were not successful as he was said to be resting but his friend, Mr. David Edhie, confirmed the incident.
He told reporters that after hearing the hooting of the horn from the governor’s convoy, the policeman opened the gate only for the ADC, a superintendent of police, and two other senior police officers to descend on him.
He said, “When the governor’s convoy got to the gate, the men of the civil defence corps and members of the Imo orientation corps, who were supposed to open the gate, were not around. So, there was a delay. Then my friend went to open the gate.
“When the convoy drove in, the ADC and some other police officers came down and asked him why he delayed. They wanted to collect his gun, but he refused. So, they started beating him. They beat him until he became unconscious, with bruises all over his face and parts of his body.”
Edhie added that the ADC took Ewedor, in his unconscious state, to Shell Camp Police Station and requested that he be detained.
He said, “The police officers at the station refused. They said they could not detain someone that was dying. Then Gabriel made arrangements for Ewedor to be taken to the Federal Medical Centre Owerri, where he was admitted. After sometime, he regained consciousness.”
Reporters learnt that Ewedor, was discharged from the hospital around 5pm on Saturday.
Edhie said the ADC had made frantic efforts to get Ewedor discharged from the hospital, because sympathisers, including journalists, were visiting the the place.
When contacted, the state Commissioner for Information and Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Mr. Chinedu Offor, refuted the report.
He said, “The ADC to Governor Okorocha is a true professional, there is no way he could have descended so low to physically assault somebody. In order not to scare people away, we use men of the civil defence corps at the gate.
We don’t use policemen at the gates of the government house. So, if anybody says a policeman was beaten up for refusing to open the gate, it is false. I was at the government house around 12:30am. Such a thing never happened.” (Source:PunchNG)

Why would they beat up a service man like that, even if he delay to open the gate that shouldn't be a reason to him up, that police man is representing Federal Republic of Nigeria. Those men that beat him should be summoned to court. Is an abuse of power. Bunch of hooligans No body is above the law even the governor.

It is 2 bad, the .aid has shown that he is incapable of been a fellow coligue. Therefor, the Nig Police should take the necessary action on this issue. A police on uniform beaten this way, its a disgrace.

Time is coming, as long as there have been changes in other Countries, it will surely happen in Nigeria, when it will happen people like Rochas Okorocha will not have any place to hide, what happen in the Arab World will surely happen in Nigeria, then all the Politicians will know that what happen Libya is too small to what will happen in Nigeria because everyday that goes by Nigerians are getting wiser. ROCHAS YOUR CUP GO FULL ONE DAY DON’T WORRY GOD DEY.

The act was too bad. Why would they treat somebody in that manner? To the mobile policeman, what goes around comes around and nothing last forever.

If it is true that he delayed before opening the gate, it is wrong bcos he should be at alert every time bt there are other ways to punish him not to beat him up like a small boy.

Why Will they beat follow service man like animal
Can they open the gate by them self
instead beating there follow uniform man
They need to be prosecuted with the governor
Time have come for our movement to look unto all this

The police commissioner, Chinedu Ofor is also culpable. Why should he defend the indefensible? Same thing happened when Ohakim was in power, when he flogged the free lance journalist with the police commissioner present and nothing happened. Nigeria has become a jigantic zoo where animals rule.

Well, the ADC is just doing his work but very wrong of him beating the mopol, there are better ways of punishing people. The truth is that the ADC got deceived by the cover of the book. Pls let’s not be quick in jumping into conclusions………

This is rili becoming 2 much for rochas’ ADC,Mr Gabriel Onu. Does it mean that he doznt hve respect for a fellow police officer lyk him?this same ADC was the same animal that beat up the protocol aide of the anambra guvnor @anambra, all bcos of a seat!even rochas cnt even caution,moreso tlk 2 his so-called ADC to be careful! As for the media adviser/commissioner,he’s condoning the excesses of d guvnor and covering up d evil and cannibalistic tendencies of the guvnor.even when dia convoy is driving along the road in owerri,they dnt respect oda road users-na wa oh.
