The accident which occurred on Saturday in Oben community's main road, on the outskirts of the state capital, resulted in the death of two brothers, Jude and Emeka Louis. The motorcycle conveying the brothers from work collided with a Volkswagen car.
Both the motorcycle and the car were trying to avoid hitting the cow when they collided. However, the cow was also injured in the accident.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Moses Eguaveon, told our correspondent on telephone that the owner of the cow had been arrested and detained to explain how his cow strayed on to the road to cause the accident.
He said: "The police are on top of the case. The police are presently investigating the case of an accident involving a motorcycle and a car in which two persons died. Once the police conclude investigation on the accident, the outcome will be made known to the public.
"The cow died from the injuries that it sustained. "What the law says is that any perishable material must be disposed off. Since the cow is a perishable material, it has been disposed with. "However, I can confirm to you that the owner of the cow was arrested.
Meanwhile, the two occupants of the car were at press time still receiving treatment for the injuries they sustained in the accident.
