The Lagos State Police Command has expressed readiness to prosecute one Friday Onu, for allegedly assaulting a female driver, Yetunde Amole, around Ozumba Mbadiwe, Victoria, Lagos.

It was learnt that the incident occurred on April 7, 2025, at about 2:00 p.m., when the suspect was caught attempting to steal Amole’s car battery. Amole courageously prevented the theft, resulting in the suspect assaulting her.

However, Onu was arrested by officers of Maroko Police Division shortly after the incident and detained at the division. Spokesperson for the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, who gave the update on the case, said preparations for his arraignment were underway when he suddenly took ill.

“He was immediately transferred to Falomo Police Hospital, where he receives treatment under close supervision.

“ The Lagos State Police Command assures the public that justice will be served.

“The suspect will be charged to a court as soon as police medical professionals declare him fit for trial.

“The Command reiterates its commitment to ensuring the safety and protection of all residents and urges the public to continue cooperating with law enforcement authorities.

“We also commend Ms Amole for her bravery and assure her and all victims of crime that their cases will be thoroughly pursued to ensure justice is served in all cases.”
