Policeman crushes woman to death in Nasarawa, family rejects N100,000 burial offer
“The policeman survived, but my sister did not. Her son is now in the hospital with a broken leg,” Akube said.
Nasarawa State Police Command spokesman Ramhan Nansel stated that while the police have launched an investigation, the officer involved was hospitalized due to shock.
Nansel, in a statement, expressed condolences to the family, adding that the N100,000 offer aimed to alleviate medical expenses.
The Command has since pledged to cover all medical costs for those injured in the crash.
Police Commissioner Umar Shehu Nadada conveyed sympathies to the Ashenenye family, stating that the Command would seek justice.
The spokesperson, Nansel, however, did not confirm if the officer would face prosecution, noting the investigation is ongoing.
