The Anambra State Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation into a fatal motor accident that occurred in the early hours of August 16, 2025, at People’s Club/Limca Road, Obosi.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, the accident involved a Lexus Jeep and two tricycles, resulting in one fatality and several injuries.
“The driver of the Lexus Jeep rammed into the tricycles, resulting in the unfortunate death of one occupant, while others sustained varying degrees of injury,” SP Ikenga stated. “The vehicle was subsequently abandoned at the scene as its occupants fled.”
Police operatives quickly responded to the scene, secured the area, recovered the abandoned vehicle, and evacuated the victims to a hospital.
