Young Man Loses His Leg While Trying To Bribe Police Officers At A Checkpoint (Photos)

A young man has lost one of his legs while trying to offer bribe to some police officers who had stopped the bus he was in.

Paul Kpema, a young Nigerian man, has narrated his sad experience after losing his leg following an accident which happened to him at a police checkpoint in Delta state.

The young man who happens to be a gospel instrumentalist, an Itsekiri by tribe, was booked to perform in a program at Otefe Oghara of Delta state before the unfortunate incident and accident befell him while trying to sort out the police officers.

Below is how he told his story:

“We packed our musical instruments and we were heading to Otefe that day, I was to perform in a program that day, Just before the bridge connecting Mosogar to Oghara, police officers flagged down the bus we boarded, but being that the commercial driver knew one of the police men, he made a sign to him that he will see them on his return

But as he drove on, he observed that the team of police officers were chasing us with their hilux van, so the driver packed and the police officers highlighted from their van and approached us. They now requested for the documents of the bus, but the driver told them it has expired, as usual you know our Nigerian Police, they requested for N10,000 before they can let us go.

The driver said he has no money on him, so they ordered myself and the conductor down and asked one of their Colleague to enter the bus and instructed the driver to reverse the bus, that they are arresting the bus, so the driver did as he was told, he drove on and crossed the bridge, then reversed as if he was coming back to Sapele and was told to park opposite where we were standing.

Seeing that there was no headway, I volunteered to offer them N3000, because I was getting late already for the program, myself and the conductor crossed the road to meet them were they parked, while I was bringing out the money from my pocket standing at the back of our own bus a car that lost control while trying to overtake a trailer in full speed came and hit my two legs, on the spot my right leg cut off from my body, before I knew it I saw myself at Delta State University Teaching Hospital Oghara (DELSUTH)…
