A Federal Road Safety Commission officer Linda Ngwu has allegedly declined rendering help to an accident victim along Opi- Enugu road, on the excuse that her blood will stain their official patrol vehicle stationed along the road.
According to the story shared by an eye witness, the officer alongside others, refused taking the already bleeding and dying accident victim to the hospital and when confronted by a good spirited Nigerian, said they have already contacted a tricycle operator to come and convey the victim to the hospital.
According to the source:
“I meet an accident scene today ( 20/07/2020 along Opi Nsukka road to Enugu,) only to find out that the accident happened like 40minutesearlier before we got there and there was a dying lady being left to die on the main road, I thought she was already dead judging from the way she was placed.
I came down and to my surprise the lady was still breathing and moving slowly, asking one of the road safety officers that was there (#Ngwu #Linda by name) why they ain’t attending to her or any of the victims that seemed critical, her response was that they have called for a Keke charter for over 30minutes but the Keke is yet to come, meanwhile they the road safety officers arrived there on a clean vehicle well OK and equipped
Provided by the state Government, I asked her why they ain’t using there own car and she said her blood will stain the car.
It was later about another 30minutes after much plead that I got mad and brought out my phone and started making videos with some other Patriotic Nigerians who joined in with me on the fight, the head of the Road safety officers team on seeing the phone videos asked them to do the needful.
The same #Ngwu #Linda refused touching her, saying that we should do the carrying, how can a fellow human being treat a dying woman in such manner, simply because she can’t help her self, she was just breading. The remaining four members of the road safety officers who are presents there was busy packing the luggage of the victims searching what their bags contains leaving the bleeding woman on the road carelessly.
It was as a reactions of the passerby guys there that made the road safety officers to rush her to the hospital
I really got mad in the Nigeria system, for one of the officers boldly telling me that they has rules guiding them, I asked which rule is that that u can’t help a dying one to rush her to the hospital as a road safety worker.
I pray that she will survive it and give God his glory
Oh lord do help her”
