A yet-to-identified Sienna SUV driver has reportedly bitten the ear of a Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO) identified as Papu Prosper in Warri, Delta State.
The driver and the VIO officer reportedly had a heated argument that culminated in the bizarre incident along Eagle Roundabout by Federal Government College, Warri, Delta State.
The victim officer, who confirmed the incident to Vanguard on Monday, said the incident happened on Friday.
According to the VIO officer, the driver was earlier apprehended during an operation over his expired car particulars.
Narrating his ordeal, Proper 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 would 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.”
