Soludo Consoles Family Of Dead Police Aide, Debunks Report On Neglect… 

The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has extended his sincere condolences to the family of the late Inspector Lucky Okey who just passed on.

A statement signed by his Press Secretary Mr Christian Aburime said before his death, Mr. Okey was a police officer who served as part of the governor’s security convoy until he was involved in an unfortunate accident in August this year.

The statement however, expressed concern over claims made in an online report by one ‘Marshall’ regarding the sad incident involving Mr. Okey.

According to the statement, the report falsely insinuated neglect on the part of Governor Charles Soludo, alleging abandonment and a lack of proper medical care leading to Inspector Okey’s tragic passing.

It made it clear that contrary to these baseless claims, Governor Soludo actually provided full support and assistance throughout Inspector Okey’s medical ordeal and that all necessary medical attention and care were promptly administered to Mr. Okey following the accident while government ensured his medical bills were cleared, and his salaries and allowances were paid promptly until his unfortunate demise.

It added that all the acts of care and support by Governor Soludo have been duly acknowledged by the late officer’s family who it noted in their recent public statement appreciated the governor for his full support and denied the claims of ‘abandonment’ and ‘miserable death’ mischievously fabricated by the faceless ‘Marshall’.

It noted that the statement signed by Mr. Chukwudi Okey, the family neither knew any ‘Marshall’ nor authorized him to speak for them, wondering why anyone would exploit their son’s death to tarnish the governor’s image.

It added that not withstanding the insincere criticisms, the Anambra State Government remains committed to upholding the welfare of all its citizens and will continue to support and prioritise the well-being of its dedicated workforce, including law enforcement officers who serve tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of lives and prayed that the soul of Inspector Okey rest in peace.
