A 400-level student of Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, identified as  Victor Olabisi Oluwatimilehin, has been arrested for allegedly attempting to kill a Policeman on duty along Ijebu-Ode-Ibadan road, Ogun State.

According to the State Police Spokesperson, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect was flagged down by the Officer, identified as Inspector Idowu Moses, attached to PMF 71, at a checkpoint but he refused to stop and knocked down the Inspector, who passed out for a moment.

“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.

“Instead of the driver stopping, he accelerated and intentionally knocked down one Inspector Idowu Moses attached to PMF 71 Awa Ijebu. The said Inspector sustained a serious bodily injury and passed out momentarily. He was rescued by his colleagues and rushed to a hospital for treatment.,” he said.

He added that the suspect continued his journey towards Ibadan road believing that the Policeman was dead. He was eventually arrested at a village close to Ibadan by some Officers who were on his track and brought down to Ijebu Ode Area Command.

Meanwhile, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has ordered that the suspect be charged to court as soon as possible. He has also warned that attacking his men while on duty will not be tolerated, therefore, members of the public should desist from such criminal acts.
