While Others Drove Past, Police Officers Stopped To Save A Dying Man In The Rain
By Trek Africa Newspaper
In a time when many Nigerians question whether humanity still exists on our roads, something remarkable happened today along the Nassarawa Eggon–Akwanga Road in Nasarawa State.
At about 5:12pm on May 27, 2026, a Black Toyota Camry with registration number ABC-327-MQ was involved in a lone accident during heavy rainfall. The impact reportedly flung the driver, Suleiman Hamidu popularly known as “Durbi,” completely out of the vehicle, leaving him helpless and lying in his own blood by the roadside.
Eyewitness accounts indicate that several vehicles reportedly passed the scene in the rain without stopping to help.
But then came a team of police officers attached to the Threat Response Unit of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), returning from official assignment from Otukpo, Benue State to Abuja, led by CSP Ayuba Nehemiah.
Despite the dangerous weather and difficult conditions, the officers immediately stopped and rushed to save the victim.
Without hesitation, CSP Ayuba Nehemiah and his team personally arranged for a Keke NAPEP to evacuate the badly injured man to the General Hospital, Nassarawa Eggon.
On arrival at the hospital, CSP Ayuba Nehemiah identified himself to medical personnel and immediately paid from his personal pocket for the victim’s preliminary emergency medical treatment to ensure doctors commenced urgent intervention without delay.
Even after ensuring treatment had started, the police officer did not simply walk away. He contacted the DPO of Nassarawa Eggon Division, Ashi Musa, to ensure proper police intervention and support, while also alerting the FRSC to deploy personnel for traffic management and accident control to prevent further tragedy on the rain-soaked highway.
The officers further traced and contacted the victim’s daughter, Aisha Nana, informing the family about the unfortunate incident and his condition.
As at the time of this report, the victim is stable and receiving treatment.
This is policing beyond uniforms and sirens.
This is humanity in action.
This is service before self.
While others reportedly drove past a wounded man abandoned in the rain, officers of the Threat Response Unit of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre stopped, rescued him, paid for his emergency treatment, and ensured he was not left alone to die.
Sometimes, the true strength of policing is not measured by force, but by compassion.
Tonight, one Nigerian is alive because some police officers chose humanity over indifference.
