The Lagos State Police Command has instituted an investigative panel into the attack of a Traffic Officer, ASP Daudu Ajayi, m, attached to Abattoir Division of the Command as captured in the video that went viral today Wednesday, April 21, 2021.
It was learnt that the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Hakeem Odumosu, was shocked about the act of the driver and some individuals in the viral video hence he ordered that the case be thoroughly investigated while the driver and his accomplices involved in the dastardly act be caused to face the full wrath of the law.
The fact of the matter was that on Wednesday, April 21, 2021, at about 12.30 pm, there was a case of hit and run serious accident involving a vehicle with Reg. No. BDG 756 YA, which hit a Camry car with Reg. No. KJA 281 GQ, and as a result a motorcycle rider, Ashiru Saadu, m, was affected and seriously injured.
In the process, the driver of the Camry car waited but the driver of the Dyna vehicle with Reg. No. BDG 746 YA escaped from the scene. Then, the Traffic Officer gave him a chase and was stopped at Pipeline Area Oko-Oba, Lagos.
The driver was said to have alighted from the vehicle, pounced on the Traffic Officer, and broke a bottle on his head. The officer sustained varying degrees of injuries.
The Commissioner of Police has again warned the general public to desist from launching attacks on police personnel and other security agencies in the state as such will be tactically resisted and culprits (attackers) be dealt with in line with the provisions of the law.
He has vowed to get the fleeing driver arrested and prosecuted so as to serve as a deterrent to others in our society, and to ascertain that the command will not tolerate any act of lawlessness in the state.
