Jun 27, 2025
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, June 22, 2025, reportedly took place inside a local store where Ojo had stormed in and began physically attacking a man named Segun.
A Nigerian police officer identified as Bamidele Ojo, attached to Zone 2 Police Command, has been accused of brutally assaulting and stabbing an innocent civilian, Michael Ekundayo, in the Idimu area of Lagos State.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, June 22, 2025, reportedly took place inside a local store where Ojo had stormed in and began physically attacking a man named Segun.
Eyewitnesses said the officer, in plainclothes but known to residents, slapped and punched Segun repeatedly.
When Segun tried to push him away, another customer, Michael, stepped in to intervene and de-escalate the fight.
But instead of backing off, Ojo allegedly turned his rage on the peacemaker.
He reportedly smashed a beer bottle on Michael's head and stabbed him twice with the jagged shards, leaving him bleeding profusely.
Michael was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was admitted. Medical personnel reportedly demanded an urgent deposit of ₦50,000 out of an estimated ₦180,000 for treatment, given the severity of the injuries and blood loss.
Despite the brutality of the attack, sources told SaharaReporters that Officer Ojo was neither arrested nor detained after the matter was reported at the Area M Police Command.
