Warri Woman Whose Legs Were Crushed To Pieces By Bullion Van, Goes To Court [Graphic Photos]

Remember 31-year-old Mrs Onome Akporode? The lady whose legs were shattered to pieces last year by a reckless bullion van driver in Warri?

Well, this is her now. She was in court yesterday to give a graphic description of how here limbs were chopped off after an accident involving a van, a police escort and a tipper lorry on July 13, 2015 at Udu road, Delta State...

The mother-of-four, during a cross examination at the High Court of Justice, Udu, on Thursday,  disclosed that the policemen escorting the bullion van, who should have stopped to render some help, rather shot sporadically into the air to scare away crowd screaming for help.

According to her, this action was inhumane on the part of the policemen because she was still on the ground bleeding profusely with both legs shattered by the reckless tipper lorry and bullion van.

Three people , who were arrested in connection with the accident, were, on Thursday, docked at the High Court of Justice, Udu. They were charged with attempted murder.

The trio, Taire Onome Joseph, Edoze Gabriel and Godwin Odobaire, are the drivers of the bullion van, a police escort vehicle and the tipper lorry involved in the accident that crushed the legs of the victim.

The victim survived by the whiskers as doctors at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital (DELSUTH), Oghara, battle to  save her from haemorrhage.

Frantic efforts were exerted by the police and owners of the bullion van to bury the attempted murder, but for the vigilance of human rights activists and the vociferous media.
