A 19-year-old driver, identified as Nsikak Okon, has been apprehended by the police following a series of high-speed, reckless manoeuvres that left three police officers injured in Edo State.
The Public Relations Officer for the Nigeria Police Force, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, detailed the harrowing incident on his official X handle on Friday, while reacting to a viral video of the suspectโs eventual arrest.
Hundeyin said Okon was driving a heavily tinted vehicle with no license plates when he first encountered officers on the road.
“You were driving a fully and heavily tinted vehicle without number plates. You met police officers on the road and sped past in a very reckless manner,” Hundeyin wrote. “On your way back, you sped past again, nearly knocking down an officer. And in what appears to be very deliberate, you came back again with the same reckless speed, this time successfully knocking down three officers,” he added.
