Angry man attacks official who caught him defecating by roadside in Lagos
An employee of the Lagos State Environment and Water Resources on Tuesday was attacked by a yet-to-be-identified man caught defecating on the road median at Berger, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The suspect who has been remanded in prison for assaulting the officer, was reportedly defecating on the median when the employee, led by officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) descended on him.
While trying to resist arrest, the suspect who was however, overpowered by the officials, attacked the victim, injuring him in the process.
“He was caught just like others but resisted arrest and decided to fight them. He hit one of the officials with an object on the head which caused him to bleed,” a source privy to the incident disclosed
Confirming the incident, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, said the suspect will appear again in court on October 29 from prison.
“One individual was arrested at Berger for injuring one of the civilians employed by the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources while on duty. He has been remanded in prison custody and will appear again in court on the 29th of October,” Wahab said via his socials.
