In Ibadan, two officers from the Oyo State Road Traffic Management Authority (OYRTMA), Oyedepo Samuel and Waheed Quadri, were attacked by tricycle riders and hoodlums while on duty. The incident occurred at the Water Corporation gate in Ibadan, where the officers were struck with iron rods, stones, and sticks, causing serious injuries. Eyewitnesses reported that the officers had stopped a commercial tricycle that was blocking the road and causing traffic congestion. While they were transporting the tricycle to the Agodi Gate command unit, they were ambushed by a group of angry tricycle riders and hoodlums. A good Samaritan intervened, helping the officers escape the mob. The injured officers are currently receiving medical treatment at the State clinic in the Secretariat, Ibadan. The Chairman of OYRTMA, Major Adekoya Adesagba (rtd.), confirmed that seven individuals were arrested in connection with the attack. He condemned the assault, expressing his dismay that officers who are dedicated to maintaining road safety are being targeted. Adesagba assured that the OYRTMA will continue its efforts to enforce road orderliness and will not be intimidated by such attacks. The arrested suspects are being held at the Idi-Ape police station, and they will face legal consequences for their actions. The suspects were brought before the Magistrate District Court 1, Ibadan North East, on charges of assault. Each suspect was granted bail with one surety and a bond of N100,000. However, since they could not meet the bail conditions, they were remanded in Agodi Prison pending further proceedings. The case has been adjourned to November 17, 2024. READ ALSO:
