The Rivers State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of two individuals in connection with the untimely demise of a young woman, Eno Udosen, in Port Harcourt. Ms. Udosen tragically lost her life on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, after being struck by a speeding vehicle, part of a convoy, near the Rivers State University campus in Port Harcourt.

Reports indicate that the victim sustained critical head injuries upon impact with the ground following the accident.
