The rider and his partner, who claimed to be Naval personnel, allegedly resisted Police arrest.

An eyewitness said the duo on the motorcycle allegedly engaged the policemen in a heated argument. The situation later degenerated into a fight between the policemen and the rider, who later turned out to be Naval officer.

The deceased Police officer slumped and died in the ensuing melee.

Meanwhile, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed the incident, said a report was received at Okokomaiko Police Station around 4.30pm on Saturday from some members of the public that some policemen who were on routine patrol along Igbo-Elerin, tried to impound a motorcycle riding against traffic at Beno filling station.

He said the two men in mufti on the motorcycle, who claimed to be Naval officers, resisted the arrest and thereafter confrontd the policemen.

“Other Naval personnel on uniform arrived the scene and supported their colleagues in the attack. While one Inspector slumped and was unconscious, the Naval officers absconded from the scene. The Inspector was rescued and was rushed to an hospital in the area, where he was confirmed dead. The body has been deposited at the Idi-Araba Mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy. Investigation is ongoing,” the PPRO added.
