By Okosun Dennis
Madness was taken to another level on Tuesday in Lagos as a man identified as Adeyemi Abayomi unleashed his dogs against a female police officer who was deployed to enforce his culprit’s arrest.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, CP Hakeem Odumosu, disclosed on Thursday that based on the arrest of the offender and coupled with the need to stop future occurrence, has vowed to defend security personnel against vagaries of attacks from individuals and groups while discharging their legitimate duties.
The police boss asserted while deliberating on the case of one Abayomi, of No 115, Itire Road, Surulere, who unleashed his dogs to attack police operatives on invitation in his compound where the dogs were released and ordered to bite woman Inspector Atim Umoh which caused her bodily injuries.
The incident occurred on March 2, 2021 about 1130am when one Madam Nneka Regina, female, of No 103, Lagos Street, Ebutte Metta, went to Surulere Division to complain against the criminal attitude of the suspect for illegally occupying her property at No 115 Itire Road, Surulere and threats to life.
The police operatives attached to Surulere Division were sent to invite the suspect before he ordered his dogs to attack them.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu has ordered that the man be arrested and taken to the State CID for investigation, and prosecution, while his dogs be picked up by the police Dog Section (K-9) for further action.
He further ordered the police medical team of the command to monitor the treatment and health condition of the woman Inspector who is said to be recuperating.
In another development, CP Hakeem Odumosu has ordered for the arrest of two suspects, Lious Nwodi, and Ismaila Salisu, both male for assaulting two officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA).
The officers identified as Ganiya Ajose, female, and Adeyemi Lanre, male, were assaulted at Ogunlana Street, Surulere, on March 3, 2021.
The duo had disobeyed hand signals at the point and sped off but were forced to a halt when their Highlander SUV with Reg. NO AAA 450 DD had a punctured tyre. They were accosted by the officials but the duo beat up the LASTMA Officials.
The duo have been charged to court and arraigned today, March 4, 2021at the Magistrate Court 2, Surulere for Conspiracy, Assault on Public Servant and malicious damage.
CP Hakeem Odumosu, therefore, warned the general public to desist from attacking security and law enforcement agents while on duty as such is tantamount to a criminal offense which is punishable under the law as the command will not overlook such ignominious act.
