Ibekimi Oriamaja Reports.

On Saturday, there was unrest in Abuja as a result of a motorcycle accident that killed one person.

The incident was confirmed by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command.

The deceased, a male named John Daam, works for V.R Drilling Limited on 5th Avenue Gwarinpa in Abuja, according to the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Josephine Adeh.

No vital organs were harvested, according to a police spokesperson.

“Contrary to widely circulated rumors, preliminary investigation reveals that the discovered lifeless body on the AYA bridge is that of one John Daam, a male employee of V.R Drilling limited of 5th Avenue Gwarinpa Abuja.”

“He was riding his Bajaj motorcycle to work in Orange Market Mararaba, Nasarawa State, when he was tragically involved in a fatal hit-and-run motor/motorcycle accident, which left his lifeless body with severe bodily injuries.” However, no vital organs were harvested.

“After receiving information from a Good Samaritan relayed by the Command Control room, operators from the Asokoro division drifted to the scene, removed the body to the hospital where he was confirmed dead, and subsequently deposited at the Asokoro mortuary.” The investigation has been stepped up in order to apprehend the fleeing suspect, and contact has been established with the deceased’s family.

“Once again, the public is urged to avoid the habit of falsely or exaggerating incidents, even as police continue to do everything possible in the Territory to keep crime and criminality to a bare minimum.”
