A 400-level student of Olabisi Onabanjo University Ago Iwoye, Ogun State, has been arrested for allegedly attempting to kill a Policeman on duty along with Ijebu ode -Ibadan road.
According to Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO)DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, “the suspect was seen driving a fully artificial tinted Toyota Camry car, with registration number: LND 929 GX loaded with some house properties towards Ibadan Oyo state and was flagged down for checking since the occupants are not visible from outside.
” But instead of the driver to stop, he accelerated and intentionally knocked down Inspector Idowu Moses, attached to PMF 71, Awa Ijebu, consequent upon which the said inspector sustained a serious bodily injury and passed out momentarily.
“Having knocked down the policeman, the driver continued his journey towards Ibadan road believing that the policeman is dead. The seriously injured policeman was rescued by other colleagues. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, while others started tracing the suspect towards Ibadan road.
” He was eventually arrested at a village close to Ibadan and brought down to Ijebu ode area command.
“Meanwhile, Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered that the suspect be charged to court as soon as possible. He also warned that attacking his men while on duty will not be tolerated, therefore, members of the public should desist from such criminal acts”.
