Corporal Amuta, a mother of one, was died on February 5, 2016, after a hit and run commercial driver ran her over. The woman was said to be at her duty post at Ikorodu area when the driver killed her.
The late Amuta was in the company of the Officer in Charge (OC) of the X-Squad when the incident happened.
Eye witnesses said she was attempting to arrest a driver, who flouted traffic regulation when the driver suddenly reversed, hit Amuta and escaped.
A police source recounted: "Evelyn went to arrest a criminal. She was in the company of the O C X-Squad. On their way to Ikeja, from Ikorodu, where they went for Investigation activity, they saw a commercial vehicle driving against traffic. They succeeded in arresting the driver, but as they were about to order him out of his vehicle, he suddenly reversed, hit Evelyn and escaped. The O C X-Squad quickly called for help. He took her to the nearest hospital. The doctors demanded for police report before they could treat her. This was despite the fact that the OC introduced himself as a police officer. Evelyn died shortly after. She has since been buried in her village in Kogi State."
Policemen attached to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos State, have taken over the investigation of the death of Evelyn.
