The security aides onboard the three vehicles, a convoy of the SSG and ordered that the bike rider be chased.

It was also gathered that the SSG, Mr. Chiedu Ebie, who was heading to Asaba, was in his official vehicle watching the ugly scenario like a scene in Nollywood movie.
The crime of Mr. Stephen was to run in front of the convoy of the SSG at the checkpoint, which led to his beating.
The SSG responded through a text message as calls put across were not answered.
Ebie however, denied any knowledge of the incident saying: “Someone just sent another message to that effect. Unfortunately, I know nothing of that as I didn’t travel in my vehicle today.
“Yes my car traveled but I wasn’t in the car and so I will need to find out what happened”.
Immediately after the text, the SSG called and explained further that he drove in a friend’s car while the other cars were behind.
“I did personally travel in my car. I wasn’t in my car, I traveled in another vehicle and that vehicle was way in the front. So, if it happens, it must have happened behind me because I am not aware of that”.
“Because I traveled with my friend and I rode in his car actually, we were in front and other cars were behind us. So, I didn’t see anything like that but if it did, it is quite unfortunate but I will find out what happened”, he explained. He added.
