Commercial motorcyclists reportedly attacked police officers at a station in Oka-Akoko, Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
According to reports, the motorcyclists invaded and attack the station after accusing the police officers of shielding a commercial driver responsible for a reckless driving incident that damaged a colleague’s motorcycle.
The motorcyclists invaded the station and not only assaulted the police officers but also seized the mobile phone of a senior police official at the station.
A senior police officer recounted that the motorcyclists had arrived at the station looking for a driver involved in a crash with a motorcyclist on Epinmi Road.
He said “We were in the station when we received a call about a fatal accident on Epinmi Road, and we immediately went there, transporting some victims to the hospital.
“Soon after, we noticed a large crowd gathering at the station, demanding to see the driver involved in the accident. As we were addressing the situation, they used sticks to beat our officers and snatched a phone. Despite our efforts to control the situation, there were about 100 of them at the station.”
Two of the assailants have reportedly been arrested while Police continue investigation into the incident.
