A police corporal, Joseph Ebosele, has been confirmed dead at a Lagos hospital after he was hit with an iron rod by a motorcyclist, Bakare Lukman, in the Meiran area of Lagos State. On Oct. 11, a police patrol team seized a bike belonging to one Lukman after he was seen using the bike around 11:00pm. Lukeman reportedly escaped from the police and waylaid Ebosele where he hit him with the iron rod. He tells Punch:
“After they seized the bike I went ahead of them and stayed in a mechanic shop. It was there I saw an iron rod which I took. While waiting on Meiran Road, I saw their van pass by, then I saw the policeman riding my bike. I used all my strength to hit him with the iron before fleeing with my bike.”
The 35 year old police corporal was rushed to a Lagos hospital where he was confirmed dead. The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Keneth Nwosu, confirmed the incident.
