Suspect Reveals Why He Assaulted Female Police Officers with Baton
On Tuesday in Osogbo, police paraded 27-year-old Adekola Amobi for a viral video showing him attacking female officers on traffic duty in Ido Osun. Amobi said he was riding his okada behind a car when it braked suddenly. He swerved to avoid three officers, then ran into four more. He claims they slapped him, pinned him down and threatened to take him and his bike to the station. He says he fought back to avoid arrest, grabbed an officer’s baton and struck them. When a bystander bricklayer hit him with a shovel, he used it to defend himself and fled to Ilobu, then Edo. The suspect admits his actions were wrong and is asking for forgiveness. Osun State Commissioner of Police Ibrahim Gotan has confirmed he will be prosecuted in court.
