Driver bites off VIO officer’s ear in Delta
A driver has reportedly bitten off the ear of a Vehicle Inspection Officer, (VIO) identified as Papu Prosper during a heated argument that ensued while on patrol in Warri, Delta State.
The incident happened in the early hours of Friday, June 30, along Eagle Roundabout, by Federal Government College in Warri, following an argument about expired particulars.
Narrating how the incident occurred, Prosper said;
“I am a Vehicle Inspection Officer, VIO. We went for a patrol in Warri, Delta State, where we apprehended a driver whose car particulars had expired.
“In the process, my boss told me to follow him to our office in Warri to confirm whether his particulars are up to date or not.
“While following the man, he said he will kill me, that the VIO has done a lot. So he brought out a dagger and was trying to butcher me into pieces.
“I struggled to get out of the vehicle as it was on speed. In the process, I fought him, and he bit off my ear”.
Prosper further revealed that the driver who bit off his ear which he spat to the ground, left his vehicle and ran away. He thanked God for saving him, while also calling for justice.
