She stated, “The motorist became violent, resulting in a heated confrontation. During the incident, the Inspector accidentally discharged shots onto the road, and debris from the impact affected some passersby.”
The statement added that the Inspector has been subjected to disciplinary actions in line with established police procedures for unprofessional conduct. In addition, thirteen suspects captured in the viral video assaulting the officer have been arrested and are currently in police custody, awaiting prosecution upon the completion of investigations.
The arrested individuals are: Dele Oriade, 39; Adekunle Olalere, 40; Mudashiru Olamilekan, 28; Anayo Achusie, 34; Joshua Enwonyin, 24; Okoro Okechukwu, 26; Rilwan Lateef, 32; Damilare Odebode, 22; Haruna Aleshi, 25; Sodiq Omoniyi, 26; Chukwudi Patience, 25; Godstime Okafor, 26; and Chinedu Divine, 29.
