The policeman, Boyi Sambo, who is attached to unit 39 in Ibadan, allegedly stormed the Eleyeile Police Station with a rifle which had 29 rounds of live ammunition and attacked Quadri Babatunde, a vehicle inspection officer at the unit after his demand for the motorcycle was turned down.
The incident, which happened on October 23, resulted in a free-for-all as Sambo threatened to attack more policemen at the station.
He was alleged to have shot his rifle into the air while two accomplices, that had yet to be identified, forcefully took the motorcycle away from the police custody.
Sambo, however, failed in his attempt to escape from the scene as he was overpowered by the policemen on duty and detained.
His rifle was said to have been seized while he had been detained while investigation is ongoing.
Confirming the arrest, acting Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Ignatius Inyang, said Sambo’s action was unacceptable and that he was being investigated over the incident.
