Sports analyst Cosmos Chukwuemeka is presently hospitalized after being knocked down by an unidentified driver along Wetheral Road, in Owerri, Imo State.
The Darling FM sports presenter who was said to be on his way home around 8:00PM on Wednesday was hit by a driver whom an eyewitness said abandoned him afterwards and drove away.
According to a close friend of the presenter, the hit-and-run driver stepped out of his car, observed Cosmos before speeding off.
DJ Blaze McBede, a fellow radio presenter in a social media post asked if the incident was just an accident or a murder attempt.
“The journalist whose news of banter with a fellow colleague(sports journalist) from another media house over the state of Heartland FC was on the social media space some days ago, he has been in critical condition and hospitalized since the night of the incident.”
“It was alleged by people who were said to be around the scene, that before people could garther [SIC], the driver who knocked him down, came down from the vehicle to take a look at him, and took his phone before running off with his vehicle, leaving him alone and in an unconscious state.”, part of DJ Blaze McBede’s post reads.
While he said that the victim is presently conscious, the question if the act was deliberate or an accident is something he said that needs to be asked.
So far, there is no report of any police entry by the victim or any of his close friends.
