The incident occurred at approximately 5:00 pm on April 4, 2026, when police operatives attached to the Awada Division, while conducting routine Easter patrols along the Onitsha-Owerri Road, observed the man lying helpless by the roadside.
The officers swiftly responded by evacuating the individual to a nearby hospital for urgent medical attention.
