A court in Lagos has ordered a nursing mother and her husband to be remanded at Kirikiri prisons for allegedly resisting lawful arrest and engaging police officers in a scuffle.
The couple, Clinton Ayobami and Adebayo Ayobami, allegedly engaged police officers in an argument, which subsequently degenerated into a scuffle, after their unmarked Mercedes Benz salon was flagged down for routine checks at Oluwaga area of ipaja, Lagos, yesterday.
According to the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, the actions of the couple aroused suspicion, hence, the insistence of the police officers on arresting them for further questioning.
A statement posted on Twitter by Hundeyin reads, “Yesterday, July 24, 2022 at about 2:30pm, police officers of Ipaja Division flagged down a Mercedes Benz car for not having number plates at Oluwaga-Ipaja.
“A passenger, Mrs Adebayo Ayobami, aggressively and disdainfully questioned why the police officers stopped her husband and not other vehicles. She, thereafter declined to answer any question.
“In an attempt to get them to the station for further questioning owing to their unprovoked aggressiveness and suspicious behavior, she and her husband, Ayobami Clinton, assaulted the police officers.
“The car was impounded. They were arraigned today and the court remanded them at Kirikiri prison.”
