Lloyd, Emenike Ebete denied the allegation saying it

Governor Amaechi Rotimi in his private jet at the Air
Force base to escape justice.
“Hon. Chidi Lloyd, while pursuing his political
opponent, Ejeuo, hit and knocked down Sgt. Urang
Obadiah, in his (Obadiah’s) effort to stop him
(Lloyd).
“He rammed over the Passat car in which Ejeuo
was driving, killing him on the spot.
“The Police initially thought it was a mere accident
which ought to have been a manslaughter, not until
Lloyd relocated from the initial private hospital
where he was being treated, after ACP Aliyu Garba
by the directives of CP Mbu J. Mbu visited him that
the Police began to raise suspicion and went into
further investigations on the purported accident.
”Conscious of what he did, Chidi Lloyd
relocated to another hospital. It was later that facts
emerged that Chidi Lloyd drove a bullet proof
vehicle while pursuing his political opponent, late
Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo and he knocked down the police
Sergeant who died on the spot and moved ahead
and smashed Ejeuo’s Passat car, killing him also on
the spot.
“The late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo who hailed from the
same place with Lloyd was a member of PDP.
“While being guarded by four police in his hospital
bed, he sneaked out through the hospital’s back
door in three tinted bullet proof jeeps and escaped.”
