On September 2013,Corporal Akor was a very active policeman attached to Ogbaru Divisional police station.He is lying down pitiable on that bed at Crown Hospital in Nkpor Anambra state after an accident,in which he was ran down by a hit and run driver while he was on official traffic duty post at Ogbaru.The accident left him with both legs broken.He was abandoned by the police force.It took the intervention of his colleagues who taxed themselves to raise a meagre sum of N20,000 which was used to rush him to the Crown Hospital.My concern now is that,he was serving his country before a reckless driver did this to him.Now he is abandoned will these single act of abandonment by the government send a signal to others that if anything happen's to that officer during the course of carrying out your official duty,they are not liable,is that a caveat from the Nigerian Government?.
