The Anambra State Police Command has continued to demonstrate its commitment to protecting lives and promoting community welfare following the rescue of an unconscious pedestrian along the Onitsha/Owerri Road in Okpoko, as well as the payment of second-term school fees for five outstanding pupils in the state.
Anambra Police Command Spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga disclosed that operatives attached to the Okpoko Division, while on routine foot patrol, discovered an elderly yet-to-be-identified man lying unconscious beside Dozzy Filling Station along the busy Onitsha/Owerri Road, Okpoko.
The officers immediately rushed the victim to a hospital, where he is currently receiving medical attention.
The Command expressed concern over the condition of the victim and appealed to members of the public with useful information regarding his identity, family, or place of residence to report to the Okpoko Police Division or contact the Command for necessary action.
