Policemen receive beating of their life while trying to seize Okada in Lagos

Culled From: Vanguard

Pandemonium broke out, yesterday, in Idi-Araba area of Lagos, after hoodlums attacked a team of policemen that came to effect the arrest of commercial motorcyclists (Okada), leaving some of them wounded.

The Police van would have reportedly been set ablaze but for the timely arrival of reinforcement from Area 'D' Command, Mushin.

This is just as a 28-year-old Man 'O War official was arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for impersonating a Police Corporal.

The suspect was said to have chewed and swallowed the fake police identity card found on him in a bid to avoid arrest.

Eyewitnesses said trouble started at Idi-Araba after a team of policemen from Itire division stormed a park close to the Lagos University Teaching Hospital and seized some commercial motorcycles.

They said pleas and explanations by the commercial motorcyclists that the area was not among the designated areas of restriction by the state government fell on deaf ears.

Out of frustration, some of them reportedly attempted to seize their motorbikes, an action that led to an altercation that degenerated into a fight.

Beating up policemen

An eyewitness said: "A group of persons from nowhere came and descended on the policemen. Two of the policemen were beaten to a state of coma.

"When police reinforcement came, the protesters unleashed terror on them and they fled. They were later overpowered by another reinforcement that came in patrol vans from different stations under Area 'D' Command.

"They shot sporadically into the air. In the process a male passer-by was hit by stray bullet and was immediately rushed to the hospital."

When Vanguard visited the scene at 4p.m., normalcy had returned. But policemen were patrolling the scene.

'Bar identity'

Meanwhile, the suspect arrested for impersonating a Police Corporal said he got the police badge and ranks from a beer parlour.

The suspect, who identified himself as Ben Okon, said: "I am a member of Man 'O War and my original uniform was given to me by my boss. But the police badge and rank fell from a policeman's who was in a beer parlour.

"After she left, I picked the polythene bag, thinking it contained money, only to find her badge."

The suspect, according to Deputy spokes person for Lagos State Police Command, Damasus Ozoani, would be charged to court soon.

Two brothers, Uba Emehelu and Nnanna Emehelu, have been arraigned before an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrate's Court for allegedly raping and assaulting a 50-year-old woman.

The police told the court on Wednesday that Uba further squeezed her neck to keep her from shouting. After the act, the police said the victim held Uba to stop him from escaping and began calling for help. His brother, Nnanna, 32, however assaulted the victim "with fist blows in an effort to free Uba from her grip."

The brothers were arraigned on three counts of rape and assault.

The prosecutor, Adebesin Shamsideen, a legal officer from the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba, said the offences were punishable under Sections 258 and 170 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011.

The defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges and elected summary trial.

The Chief Magistrate, Mrs A.A Demi-Ajayi, granted the defendants bail in the sum of N500,000 with a surety "who must be gainfully employed and be resident in Lagos with evidence of tax payment."

The matter was adjourned till October 28 for trial.
