When they arrived at Orsu\/Nkwere Orlu Road, gunmen at the security checkpoint discovered that Uwadinachi was a policeman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter discovering, they asked him to come down from the vehicle, searched him vigorously, saw his police identification card, and shot him in the leg and hands. They commanded the driver to move on and left him in a pool of his blood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawyer said when other passengers were contacted through their phone numbers obtained from the transport company\u2019s register, they confirmed the attack.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, said the driver of the bus, Ekweme, never reported to the police or any security post on the highway despite abandoning Uwadinachi with the gunmen.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to locate the policeman\u2019s whereabouts, the lawyer said Uwadinachi\u2019s family members reported the case at the Imo State Police Command for investigation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we speak, he (Ekweme) is yet to make himself available for investigation at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Owerri,\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the passengers of the bus, simply identified as Pastor Chimezie, who confirmed the incident said, \u201cWhat you just said is true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On how the gunmen identified the policeman, he said, \u201cThey requested us to show our identity card. When he brought his ID card out of his bag, they shouted, \u2018so, you\u2019re a policeman.\u2019 Then they fired shots at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to reach the New Testament Motors proved abortive as the phone numbers on the company\u2019s passenger\u2019s manifest were unreachable.<\/p>\n<p>Contacted, the Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Geoffrey Ogbonna, said, \u201cI\u2019m not aware of the case. The command does not have such information.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Imo State Police spokesman, Michael Abattam, also said, \u201cI\u2019m not aware and it means that the command didn\u2019t get such a report.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assistant Superintendent of Police, Victor Uwadinachi, has been declared missing while on his way to the police headquarters in Ikeja, Lagos State.
