Maltreatment Galore on Nigerians With Accident Injuries in the hands Spanish Police.


Orihuela, a suburb city from the region of Alicante, west of Torrevieja, in Kingdom of Spain where our associate reporter reveals the mal treatment melted upon Five Nigerians by the Orihuela police command, who were returning from a child dedication party held at Elche, in the same region, on the 13 th day of July, around 11.12 pm, who  had traffic accident, was shocking and alarming. The accident victims with higher grade injuries were lock up in police cell.

All efforts to reach the police command was blocked by the police when  visits to see the victims inside the police cell  before they were released. The victims explained that on their way to Torrevieja from the party, they ran into a purported traffic police control which they were stooped and cleared but only to be chased by the police again which resulted to a fatal motor accident.

As narrated by the victims, "the car collided with the round about wall and the police were asking of papers instead of assisting us to get out from the car and even when we managed to come out, the driver was unconscious, the other had limb fracture and the other legs and arms broken, the police draw the driver on the ground...

Later as the ambulance arrive at the scene of the accident, the police took them to the nearby clinic at Orihuela and without proper genuine treatment as discovered later by the Torrevieja General hospital were two of the victims undergone operations subsequently, the accident victims were put into police cells with injuries, despite their pains, cries, shout and plead for medical attention, all these fell on deaf ears till the arrival of the lawyer who came the next day around 2.45pm. Yet, the driver was denied bail till the next day.

Information gathered by our reporter is that the medical sheet given to the victim after the accident at Orihuela Clinic was useless as no treatments were administered on the injuries according to the Torrevieja General Hospital management, hence, two of the victims went for emergency operations and questioned why were the victims allowed to go out from the Orihuela clinic and put into police cell with such severe injuries when they were not confirmed criminals?

The human right commission provides rooms for anybody under police arrest for proper medical attention and humane treatments but why the Orihuela Police command acted the way they did remains questionable.
Ironically, four of the victims were not charged to court before they were released to the lawyer and the driver of the car, Mr Thomas,  was released at the court on the second day at Orihuela where the driver explained that the police control where he had the encounter with the police was not properly managed by the two police men and he was afraid when he was chased, thinking they were not police officers because no signs of police control were installed on the road and it was late in the night.

All efforts to confirm the allegation failed.
