An auto crash
victim, whose N4 million was recovered from the scene of the crash by
some Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officials, has disappeared from
the hospital where he was receiving treatment.
Sources told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the victim
disappeared shortly after his admission at the Badagry General Hospital,
Lagos State, and his whereabouts had remained unknown.
Spokesman for
the state police command, Mr Joseph Jaiyeoba, told NAN that the victim
was nowhere to be found when the police checked at the hospital on
Tuesday.
Jaiyeoba told NAN that the police had received a sum of N4,091,400
recovered from the scene by officials of the FRSC, adding that the
victim claimed that the total amount in his possession at the time of
the crash was N6.5 million.
The police
spokesman said part of the money was possibly stolen by hoodlums before
the FRSC officials rescued the victim from the accident scene.
He said the police was investigating the source of the cash found in the
car because of the manner in which the currency was wrapped.
Jaiyeoba added that the cash was still in police custody, while the
vehicle was kept with the FRSC, pending further investigation into the
matter.
