400L Student Arrested For Attempted M-urder Of Policeman In Ogun | READ DETAILS
The Ogun State Police Command on Wednesday arrested Oluwatimilehin, 400-level student of the Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU), Ago Iwoye, one Olabisi Oluwatimilehin, for allegedly knocking down a police Inspector, Idowu Moses, with his car and leaving him for dead.
He was said to have made an attempt at killing the policeman on duty along Ijebu-Ode/Ibadan road, hence his arrest.
Ogun police spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the suspect, driving a fully artificial tinted Toyota Camry car, registered with LND 929 GX, towards Ibadan Oyo State, was flagged down for checking.
However, instead of the driver to stop, “he accelerated and intentionally knocked down Inspector Idowu Moses attached to PMF 71 Awa Ijebu.”
According to Oyeyemi, the police officer passed out momentarily having sustained serious bodily injuries.
“Having knocked down the policeman, the driver continued his journey towards Ibadan road, believing that the policeman was dead,” Oyeyemi explained.
He added that the injured policeman was rescued by his colleagues to the hospital, as others traced the suspect towards Ibadan road.
According to report it was gathered that the driver of the car, Olabisi Oluwatimilehin, was eventually arrested at a village near Ibadan and moved to Ijebu-Ode area command.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Bankole, has directed that the suspect be charged to court as as soon as possible.
