Drama as ‘Mike Tyson’ bites off VIO’s ear over expired vehicle papers

A dramatic incident took place in Warri as a Sienna car driver bit off the ear of a Vehicle Inspection Officer (VIO) identified as Papu Prosper during a heated argument while they were on patrol in Warri, Delta State.

It happened during an exchange over expired particulars in the early hours of June 30, 2023 along Eagle Roundabout, by Federal Government College in Warri.

According to Prosper, “I am a Vehicle Inspection Officer. We went for a patrol in Warri, Delta State where we apprehended a driver whose car particulars have expired.

In the process, my boss told me to follow him to our office in Warri to confirm whether his particulars are up to date or not.

While following the man, he said he will kill me, that the VIO has done a lot. So he brought out a dagger & was trying to butcher me into pieces. I struggled to get out of the vehicle as it was on speed. In the process, I fought him & he bit off my ear,” the VIO said.
