Ogbodo died on Saturday, according to a statement by the state Police Command’s spokesperson, Tochukwu Ikenga, on Sunday.
Ikenga said the driver of the shuttle bus who knocked down the officer had conveyed him to the hospital at Enugwu Ukwu before he gave up the ghost.

This is to debunk insinuations on social media attributing the death of the officer to different causes. The Command mourns the passage of the officer and wishes to condole his family and loved ones on his tragic demise.”
He added that the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Aderemi Adeoye, had assured that justice would be speedily dispensed in the case.
