“I am a Vehicle Inspection Officer, VIO. We went for a patrol in Warri, Delta State, where we apprehended a driver whose car particulars have 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 will 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.”
Prosper also stated that the driver of the Siena spat in his (Prosper’s) ear, which fell to the ground, then exited his vehicle and fled.
When the Sienna was impounded by the VIO, Prosper thanked God for saving him and pleaded with the government to arrest the Siena driver.
He said:
“I give God all the glory for keeping me alive. And for the man, let the law do what has to be done.“
