Police Man Beaten Mercilessly When Trying To Arrest Suspects
Police Beaten Mercilessly While Trying to Arrest Suspects in Lagos
A Police Sergeant who was attached to Ejigbo Division in Lagos State, who was identified as "Edward Salami", has been taken to the hospital after he received serious beating from six suspects he had attempted to arrest at a joint in the community in Lagos.
It was gathered that the gang were having drinks at a joint at Pipeline Junction, Ejigbo when the victim was invited to perform his official duty.
On getting to the spot, Salami tried to arrest the gang for breaching public peace but later got beaten, which resulted to severe injuries on him as some of the suspects beat him and poured drinks on him as he had lots of injuries.
Mr. Salami went back to the police station where he came from and gave them the info about what happened.
On reaching to the station, some of his colleagues mobilized themselves and made their way to the joint.
The officers arrested one of them while others ran as they escape.
The caught suspect, Abeeb Ola, was arraigned before the Ejigbo Magistrate Court for assault.
He pleaded not guilty.
The prosecutor, Supol Kenneth Asibor, informed the court that the victim who was a police sergeant, was performing his lawful duty before he was attacked by the suspects who breached the peaceful act.
The Presiding Magistrate, identified as Teslimi Shomade, granted Mr. Ola bail in the sum of N50,000 with one surety to sign for him.
He was remanded in prison custody pending when he would be able to perfect his bail condition.
The matter was shifted to January 9, 2019 because he couldn't pay instantly and the court were going on holidays.
