The General Manager of JAMZ 100.1FM, a radio station in Ibadan, Oyo State, Mr Tony Awobode, has accused an Eleyele Divisional Police Officer of assaulting him.
Awobode, aka Don T, told journalists in Ibadan on Tuesday that the incident happened when he was riding a power bike on Sunday night.
He said the clutch of the bike touched the side mirror of the police officer’s car who then as a result attacked him.
He alleged that the DPO rained slaps and punches on him before calling some policemen who whisked him away to the police station at Iyaganku.
He said, “In order to allow some of the motorcycles move (in the traffic) so that I could also continue, I tilted the power bike’s steering wheel a bit. After two or three bikes had passed, I tried to straighten the wheel back, and while trying to do that for balance, the clutch of the bike slightly tapped the side mirror of the car beside me; no damage was done at all.
“I apologised to the driver, but the man rolled the car window down and started insulting me.”
