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 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.”
“The Rivers State Police Command has arrested
Hon. Chidi Llyod of the Rivers State House of
Assembly for murder of police Sgt. Urang
Obediah and Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, his kinsman
and arch political opponent.
“He was arrested on his way to join Governor
Amaechi Rotimi in his private jet at the
Airforce base to escape justice.
“Hon. Chidi Lloyd on December 30, 2013 while
pursing his political opponent, knocked down
Sgt. Urang Obediah, in spite of his effort to stop
him, rammed and killed him and went ahead to
crush the Passat car of Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo was
driving and killed him.
“Initially the Police thought that it was a mere
accident, which ought to have been a
manslaughter. The Commissioner of Police
directed ACP Aliyu Garba, the Area Commander
Metro, to visit him in his hospital bed and
commiserate with him, conscious of what he
did, Chidi Lloyd relocated to another hospital.
“Facts emerged that Chidi Lloyd drove a bullet-
proof vehicle while pursuing his political
opponent, late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, and he
(Lloyd) knocked down Sgt. Urang Obediah, who
died on the spot and (Lloyd) moved ahead to
smash a political opponent in his Passat car
who equally died instantly,” the statement
reads.
The statement added that late Ejeuo, who hailed
from the same place with Lloyd was believed to
be in the PDP camp led by Elder Felix Obuah.
The statement also indicated that the Leader of
the House allegedly escaped from the hospital
where he was being guarded by four policemen.
However, a top government official told our
correspondent that the claim by the police that
Lloyd tried to join Amaechi in his (Amaechi)
private jet in order to escape justice was a
blatant lie.
It will be recalled that Lloyd, who presented
himself to the Nigeria Police after a video clip
showed him hitting a member of the House of
Assembly, Mr. Michael Chinda, with a mace on
the head, was charged to court on a six-count
charge, including attempted murder.
Lloyd was later granted bail in order to receive
medical attention after sustaining injury during
the July 9, 2013 free-for-all in the chambers of
the State House of Assembly.
