Father of the two kids crushed to death by a vehicle belonging to officials of the Rivers State Taskforce, Segun Opikhara has called on the State Government to help identify and arrest the suspects.
Mr Segun in a chat with journalists said his two children Hiphzibah Opikhara and Joshua Opikhara, were by the roadside after Easy Motors Bus Stop, Aba Road, when they were crushed by the vehicle.
He stated that one of the officials was apprehended by a traffic police while the rest escaped.
Part of his statement reads,
From findings, I knew that they were taskforce members from Obio/Akpor. My children were standing by the roadside, watching their right to cross the road, when the mini bus that was conveying four taskforce members hit them.
“I was in my office when I was called. Before I rushed down, my daughter was already gone. I rushed her to the clinic not believing she was dead.
“My son also was taken to the hospital. He didn’t get himself and also died the next day. I am appealing to the taskforce management, the police and the government to fish out these people that killed my beloved children.”
