Two policemen were stabbed yesterday in
Alakija area of Lagos metropolis as they tried
to drive an insane woman
away from the
premises of a popular pentecostal church.
According to an eyewitness, who did not
want to be named, “trouble started when the
woman was standing in front of the church
and policemen deployed to the area
attempted to evict her.
“Suddenly, a madman, who was watching
what was going on, went to meet the
policemen ostensibly to stop them.
“The policemen left the woman and
confronted the insane man. They started
beating him with their batons. The madman,
who was with a stick started flogging the
policemen.
“Suddenly, the madman brought out a broken
bottle from his bag and stabbed the two
policemen, who were later rushed to Navy
Town Hospital by church members and
onlookers.
“News got to other policemen attached to the
church that their colleagues had been
stabbed by the madman and they reinforced
and began to look for the madman, whom
they found at Alakija Bus-stop.
“The five policemen surrounded the madman
and tried to overpower him and after much
struggle, they tied him up with a rope and
bundled him into their van and took him
back to the church for interrogation.”
He said the policemen later saw a man
taking pictures and tried to collect his phone
from him but he identified himself as a
soldier and they let him go.
