A commercial bus driver has been macheted to death in Anambra State by one Enugu Man, Akpa Lebechukwu.
The man reportedly met his death when he stopped his vehicle at Okija Junction in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State to drop off some passengers he was bringing from Lagos.
According to a statement issued by the state Police Command’s spokesman, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga on Sunday, the Enugu man suddenly jumped into the vehicle as the passengers alighted and macheted the driver.
Ikenga said: “Today (Sunday) 18/9/2022 at about 12:05pm, police arrested one Akpa Lebechukwu ‘M’ 25yrs from Enugu State, and recovered one machete from him.
“The suspect attacked the driver of a commercial vehicle on transit from Lagos to Imo State at Okija junction, along Onitsha/Owerri Expressway.
“The victim parked to drop a passenger before Lebechukwu jumped into the vehicle and macheted the driver. The driver was rushed to the hospital before he was declared dead by a medical doctor on duty.”
It was, however, not clear what the intention of the attacker was, nor was his sanity ascertained.
Ikenga quoted the Anambra State Police Commissioner as ordering the immediate transfer of the matter to the State Criminal Investigation Department.
