A Sienna car driver (name withheld) has bitten the ear of a Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO), Papu Prosper, during a patrol in Warri, Delta State.
It was gathered that the incident occurred during a heated argument over expired particulars along the Eagle Roundabout in Warri last Friday.
Speaking on the incident, Prosper, on Monday, said: “We went for a patrol in Warri, Delta State, where we apprehended a driver whose car particulars have expired.
“In the process, my boss told me to follow him to our office in Warri to confirm whether his particulars are up to date or not.
“While following the man, he said he will kill me, that the VIO has done a lot. So he brought out a dagger and was trying to butcher me into pieces.
“I struggled to get out of the vehicle as it was on speed. In the process, I fought him, and he bit off my ear.”
The VIO added that the driver spat out his ear, which fell on the ground, left his vehicle, and absconded the scene.
He disclosed that the driver was later arrested adding that the latter is in the VIO’s custody in Delta State.
