Shocking CCTV Footage Clears Channels TV Reporter's Name
A dramatic turn of events has unfolded in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital, involving a Channels TV reporter named Charles Opurum. The journalist claimed to have been brutally attacked by a group of hoodlums inside a fuel station on Tuesday, March 25. According to Charles, the incident started when he honked at a vehicle blocking the entrance to the station. He alleges that the elderly man behind the wheel, who he believed was from the North, became irate over the honking and slapped him. Charles says he retaliated with the same aggression, only to be surrounded and physically assaulted by a group of men at the station. What's more, a police officer attached to the station allegedly damaged Charles' car windshields during the chaos, while another individual sustained an injury after trying to cling to Charles' moving vehicle as he attempted to escape.
Charles immediately reported the incident to the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Rumuepirikom Division, CSP John Ayah, who promptly deployed patrol teams to apprehend those involved. However, things took a surprising turn when the suspects tried to turn the tables, claiming that Charles was the one who initiated the assault. But after reviewing CCTV footage, authorities discovered that the elderly man was actually the one who started the altercation. Some of the suspects have since admitted fault and offered to compensate Charles for the damages to his vehicle, which he has accepted.
Charles is grateful for
