BREAKING NEWS: Rivers Assembly Majority

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.

Please I beg you dont abuse me, just that I dont make sense of this story. Mr A pursued Mr B witg a bullet proofed car and in the process knocks Mr C to death and still crushes Mr B in his VW car, am I right?
If it is real, then they just wasted a good movie trick, the type that has eluded Nollywood for a long time now- James Bond Style.
