Team@orientactualmags.com learned Spokesman for the  Nigeria Police Force in Oyo state,  Adewale Osifeso,  has  not only confirmed the development but also added that some people have been arrested in connection with the incident.

He added that seven persons have been arrested, 12 motorcycles were impounded while the body of the deceased policeman has been deposited at a morgue in the state.

‘Preliminary investigation revealed that the patrol team while acting on credible intelligence through visible policing duties extended their presence around major black spots, highways and major roads  in the local government  in a bid to deter criminal elements from settling and establishing dominance within the location.

In furtherance of the above, the team of operatives on patrol led by one Inspector Stanley Ikhine, flagged down an ash-coloured Lexus 350 Jeep with a faintly inscribed worn-out number further arousing suspicion from the officers.

In the process, the vehicle initially slowed down in compliance with the directive before eventually picking up speed and dashing off to evade the officers on duty.

A few metres away from where it was stopped, the Lexus Jeep veered off the road to a nearby garage, driving directly into the waiting hands of hoodlums who were also collaborators in the criminal process, thereby not only obstructing the officers from discharging their duties but also aiding the escape of the SUV and its occupants.

The hoodlums attacked the officers unprovoked and attempted forcefully dragging a rifle from one of the officers which led to a shot being discharged from the barrel during the process of the struggle. Sadly, the gallant officer paid the supreme price, suffering a heavy blow to his skull inflicted by one of the hoodlums while preventing them from dispossessing him of his firearm’ he said -Team@orientactualmags.com
