Policemen attached to Ipaja Police Division, Lagos, today repelled motorcycle operators, who attacked the station in an attempt to protest against impounding of motorcycles in the state.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin revealed that police fatally injured two of the attackers, arrested some of the attackers, with one locally made firearm retrieved, and impounded over two hundred motorcycles today.
Hundeyin said the attack came after police officers commenced the day’s enforcement of the existing ban on motorcycles in Lagos State, adding that the attackers, who came in their hundreds, stormed the station with dangerous weapons, shooting at the officers and attempting to overrun the station.
While officers and men of the division held their ground, reinforcement came from the Area Command and the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), who came to overpower the attackers.
