The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Satellite Town Division,
Mr. Raimi Ahmed has been stabbed by people suspected to be
naval personnel.
The incident occurred in a hotel premises, a stone’s
throw to the division.
Daily Sun gathered that the DPO, a Chief Superintendent of
Police (CSP), had gone to the hotel in company of one other
policeman, Ahmed, following a distress call before they were
accosted by three naval ratings.
A source told Daily Sun that as soon as one of the naval personnel
sighted the DPO, he exclaimed: "Eh! This is the man who
has been preventing us from doing what we want to do."
He said the naval men started pushing the DPO around while
one of them brought out his dagger and stabbed him severally.
The DPO was said to have been rescued from the hands of the
angry naval personnel and rushed to a nearby hospital.
Investigations revealed that the DPO has since been discharged
from the hospital after treatment.
When Daily Sun visited the Area ‘E’ police command,
the three naval ratings were sighted there.
The Area ‘E’ commander, Mr. Dave Ajibola Akiremi,
an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), confirmed the incident.
