The Ogun State Police Command says three suspects will be arraigned before the Ago-Iwoye Magistrate Court on Friday over alleged assault on police officers and obstruction of their duties.
The suspects were identified as 51-year-old Alaba Mulika, 21-year-old Alawode Iyanu and 29-year-old Temitope Saliu.
The command disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday, October 2, 2026, by its Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi.
The planned arraignment followed an investigation ordered by the Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, after an incident involving police officers and some individuals in Ago-Iwoye.
According to the statement, the incident occurred on September 29 when a police team led by ASP Akeredolu Emmanuel stopped an unregistered Toyota Camry at Fibigbade Street in Ago-Iwoye.
The officers were reportedly taking the vehicle to the police station when a Toyota Highlander, with registration number JJJ 215 JV, allegedly blocked their path at Abobi Street.
The situation reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation, during which two officers, INSPR Abolarinwa Wasiu and CPL Olubamiro Adeniyi, were allegedly assaulted.
Videos showing the confrontation later circulated on social media, prompting further public attention to the incident.
The police said the footage was among the materials examined as part of the investigation ordered by the Commissioner of Police.
Following the directive, detectives visited the scene, examined the circumstances surrounding the incident and arrested the three suspects.
The suspects are expected to face five counts, including conspiracy, obstruction of police officers in the discharge of their duties, alleged serious assault and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
The command, however, did not disclose the specific allegations against each of the suspects.
CP Ojajuni said the protection and safety of police personnel carrying out legitimate duties remained a priority of the command.
He urged members of the public with grievances against police officers to seek redress through established legal channels instead of engaging in physical confrontations.
