A court in Lagos State has remanded four persons at the Kirikiri Maximum Correctional Complex in Apapa, Lagos State, for engaging in a scuffle with some operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.
The accused are; Miracle Onukuoforobi, a 27-year-old student at Lucky Igbinedion University, and Ehis Tito Odigie, a 33-year-old music producer.
Others include; Oyedeji Motunrayo, 26, and Bolade Richard, 31, both of whom are members of the National Youths Service Corps.
The case was adjourned to October 10, 2022, after the quartet's arraignment on Tuesday at the Magistrate Court in Ogba.
According to the Lagos State police spokesman SP Benjamin Hundeyin, they were charged with "severe assault" on policemen and brought to court.
In a viral video on social media, the civilians were captured engaging a team of Nigerian policemen in fisticuffs.
One of the defendants was seen pushing off a policeman’s cap; he later seized it after picking it from the ground.
The Lagos Command confirmed that both parties had video recordings which were reviewed.
“The police officers too are undergoing questioning. Investigation is ongoing. One thing remains sure: everyone, police inclusive, found culpable will face the law,” Hundeyin added.
