In other news, a Magistrate court sitting in Ogba ordered that four persons, a music producer and three National Youth Corps members be remanded at the Kirikiri Maximum Correctional facility in Apapa, Lagos.

According to Lagos Police PPRO, Benjamin Hundeyin, the four were arrested after a video of them assaulting policemen went viral on social media.

The defendants were arraigned in court on Tuesday, August 30, 2022, for “serious assault” on officers.

They are 33-year-old producer, Ehis Tito Odigie, and Miracle Onukuoforobi, 27, a student of Igbinedion University.

Others include 31-year-old Bolade Richard and 26-year-old Oyedeji Motunrayo, who are both corps members.

In the video which captured the incident, the young men could be seen engaging a group of policemen in fisticuffs.

One of them was captured on film pushing off a policeman’s cap which he later seized after picking it from the ground.

According to the Lagos State Police Command, both parties had video recordings which were reviewed.
