Lagos state police command says it repelled an early morning attack on the Ipaja Police Division by motorcycle operators, following enforcement of the existing ban on motorcycles in the State.
In a statement by police spokesman in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin, the attackers stormed the station with dangerous weapons, attempting to overrun the station but officers and men of the division held their ground, as reinforcement came from the Area Command and the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).
According to him, the attack did not deter the officers from accomplishing their mandate as over two hundred motorcycles were impounded and some of the attackers arrested, with one locally made firearm retrieved.
Hundeyin assured that the State Police Command will not be cowed into abdicating its responsibilities of enforcing all duly passed laws and maintenance of law and order within the society.
