Reports indicated that the vehicle was driven by a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) attached to the Bayelsa State Police Command, who lost control before the accident.
The grieving mother, Jennifer Otono, with the support of Delta-based activist Kelvin Ejumudo, expressed frustration over the lack of response from the police, noting that no officer or representative of the force had reached out to her since the incident.
They called on the Nigerian Police to identify the officer responsible and ensure he is brought to justice.
