A Lagos State Magistrates’ court sitting in Etiosa, Ajah, had ordered the remand of one Omorogbe Jennifer Soni, in Kirikiri prison for assaulting a police woman.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin disclosed this in a statement on his official X handle on Monday.
An X user, Umasom Jeremiah (@umasomjere19798), on February 26, 2024, posted a video that captured the suspect pushing to the ground the police woman who was about to deflate Jennifer’s tyre for a yet to be known offence.
According to the state police spokesperson, the suspect who committed the offence on February 21, was arrested the next day, and will remain in custody until the next hearing on March 27.
