A 52-year-old Canada returnee, Morufudeen Idowu, was arrested in Lagos, after allegedly assaulting a Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps official who attempted to stop him from crossing the expressway.
The suspect, according to the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, refused to comply with lawful instructions and physically attacked an officer during routine enforcement around the busy Ojota corridor.
In a post shared on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Friday, Wahab stated that Mr Idowu was taken into custody and will face prosecution.
“Mr Morufudeen Idowu – 52yrs, a Canada returnee, refused arrest and assaulted one of our personnel while crossing the expressway at Ojota,” Wahab posted. (Punch)
