The family of Asher Christopher,23 year-old native of Akwa Ibom State, has called for thorough investigation into circumstances surrounding the death of their Son inside Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPCL in Port Harcourt on Tuesday 20th August 2024.
Father of the deceased, Mr. Christopher Dan in an interview with our correspondent said he is shocked that until now, he has not seen the corpse of his Son.
Mr. Dan explained that he was invited by the police but when they visited the company no one could explain exactly what happened to his son.
He appealed to relevant authorities to help him get justice for his late son.
Our correspondent reports that the deceased is a contract staff as a cleaner in NNPCL.
Mr. Wiro queried why the incident was not reported to Central Police Station in charge of the jurisdiction by the company.
Mr. Wiro called on the Rivers State Commissioner of Police to wade into the incident by ordering transfer of the case file to State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department Port Harcourt saddled with responsibility of investigating culpable homicide.
The Spokesperson for Rivers State Police Command, SP Grace Iringe- Koko who confirmed the incident, added that the matter was reported to Old GRA Police Division and investigation is ongoing.
