The incident occurred on Monday, April 7, 2025, near the Oriental Hotel along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos.

According to the police, Onu was caught attempting to remove the battery from Mrs Amole’s vehicle when she confronted him, prompting a violent altercation that was filmed and widely circulated on social media.

In a statement released by the Command’s spokesperson, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos State Police Command “condemns this act in the strongest terms and wishes to update the public on the actions already taken.”

Hundeyin confirmed that officers from the Maroko Division responded swiftly after receiving reports and successfully apprehended the suspect shortly after the incident.

However, plans to arraign Onu in court were temporarily put on hold when he reportedly fell ill in police custody. “He has since been transferred to Falomo Police Hospital for medical attention and is under close police supervision,” Hundeyin stated.

The police assured the public that the case was handled with the utmost seriousness. “The Lagos State Police Command assures the public that justice will be served. The suspect will be charged in a court of competent jurisdiction as soon as police medical professionals declare him fit to stand trial,” Hundeyin said.

The Command also commended the courage displayed by the victim. “We also commend Ms Amole for her bravery and assure her and all victims of crime that their cases will be thoroughly pursued to ensure justice is served in all cases,” the statement added.

Reaffirming its dedication to the safety and protection of all residents, the Lagos State Police Command called on the public to continue cooperating with law enforcement authorities to combat crime effectively.
