A young woman, Chidinma Obishe, has been ordered to remain in custody until July 8 after allegedly attacking officials of the Lagos State Environmental Taskforce.
The incident reportedly happened at Ojota, Lagos, after she was apprehended for refusing to use the pedestrian bridge.
The case, which has since caught public attention, was brought before a Magistrate Court sitting in Bolade.
The court ordered her remand following a report of physical resistance and assault on the taskforce officers during the arrest.
According to the State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the situation could have been avoided if the pedestrian rule was obeyed. He shared on social media,
“Chidinma Obishe resisted arrest when she was apprehended for not using the pedestrian bridge at Ojota. She violently attacked some of our personnel.”
The Commissioner’s post has sparked a conversation about law enforcement, civil behavior, and the importance of obeying public safety guidelines.
