The family of Inspector Lucky Okey of Amata Akpoha Autonomous Community Afikpo North Local Government of Ebonyi State has disowned the story making rounds that Anambra State government abandoned a policeman who died on duty.
In a statement signed by Mr Chukwudi Okey for the family, titled: “Re-How Gov Soludo Abandons Police Inspector Who Fell From His Convoy To Die Miserably Without Care.”
The family stated as follow:
“The attention of the Family of Inspector Lucky Okey of Amata Akpoha Autonomous Community Afikpo North Local Government of EBONYI has been drawn on online news circulating on social Media where one faceless Marshal is accusing Governor Soludo of abandoning Our Son, Inspector Lucky Ukpai, Who fell from Governor’s convoy on an official duty to die miserably.
“Our Son did not die miserably. When the incident happened, Governor Soludo took care of him. He gave him 100 percent maximum attention at the Hospital. The Governor did all he could to save his life and the best Medical Doctors were assembled to take care of him. We are so grateful to the Governor for his fatherly display and concern over the death of Our Son.
“We do not know who is Marshall and why he is out to tarnish the image of the Governor and the family or what he intends to achieve with that. We want to state it clearly, we do not know him nor authorise him to speak for the family. Our son, Inspector Lucky is single and not married.
“He had the accident on 6th August 2022 and not February as said by the so called Marshall
“We urge the Public to disregard the said publication. We beg all who are trying to use our sons death to score cheap Political point to leave Our Family and son out of this. They should allow us to mourn our son and let the soul of our beloved son to rest in perfect peace.”
