The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Friday Onu, who was seen in a viral video on the Lekki-Epe Expressway assaulting Mrs Yetunde Amole in an attempt to steal her car battery.
In a statement shared by the Command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin explained that the incident occurred on Monday, April 7th, near the Oriental Hotel area of the state, when Onu was caught attempting to steal Amole’s car battery. She resisted, which consequently led to him assaulting her.
Hundeyin added that the suspected thug, Onu, had been arrested by operatives of the Maroko Division but suddenly fell ill and was transferred to Falomo Police Station.
The statement read; “The Lagos State Police Command is aware of a viral video circulating on social media, depicting the assault of one Yetunde Amole by a suspected thug near the Oriental Hotel area in Lagos.
