The Lagos State police command have nabbed a Chief for allegedly assaulting a bread seller, Bukola Olasunkanmi, in the Isheri-Oshun area of the state, the chief identified as Ajiroba.
Olasunkanmi, who sustained injuries, was first rushed to a private hospital, and later taken to the Igando General Hospital. The woman Olasunkanmi, was said to be seven months old pregnant, as she was allegedly scourged several times by the chief and his thugs because she mediated in an argument involving some levy collectors and another bread seller at the Ijegun bus stop.
Olasunkanmi claimed that after she reported the matter to the police, she had been receiving threat-to-life phone calls, which made her to write a petition to the state Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni, and the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in Zone 2, Onikan, Bala Hassan.
It was gathered that the matter was reported at the Isheri Oshun division and Ajiroba was arrested by the police.
