Okeoma in a petition to the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Ahmed Barde, lamented that the Okigwe Police Division lacked the capacity to prosecute the case.
Already, he has called for the immediate transfer of the case file to the Criminal Investigation Department of the state Police Command.
According to him, he wants the case file transferred to the state CID for a thorough investigation of the assassination of his mother.
The petition signed by his lawyer, Uche Nwoha, lamented that Amos Ike had on August 24, along the Okigwe-Owerri Road allegedly crushed to death his mother, Mrs Patricia Okeoma, who was returning from a burial ceremony in Anara in the Isiala Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State.
He added that Ike while driving his RX Lexus vehicle, trailed his mother on the road to execute what he described as a “ritual plan”, where his mother was knocked down.
Okeoma claimed that after the incident, Ike absconded with his car and went into hiding for five days, while his mother gave up the ghost.
He maintained that the car hit was an intentional act by Ike.
