“He (fleeing hoodlum) assaulted me opposite Social Elite Ilesa around 1:00pm of Tuesday, November 23, 2021.
“It was a traffic issue. I indicated to turn to the left side at Glorious Legacy Hotel junction adjacent Social Elite Club, Ilesa and when I checked through my both inner and side mirrors, I observed that the motorcyclist coming behind me, was riding at top speed, I decided to maintain the lane only for him to overtake and start hurling curses on me.
“When I tried to make him understand that I indicated to the left before trying to negotiate for a turning, he became violent and opted for a hoe. I blocked the weapon and I struggled to disarm him. Thereafter, his colleagues ( okada riders) came in a dozen and while I was explaining to them what happened, the suspect (ID Idowu) went for my cloth and tore it.
“He did not stop at that! He picked a stone and started aiming my head but I managed to protect my head which made him resort to hitting other parts of my body with the object.
“The matter has been reported at the Ayeso A’ police division, Ilesa Osun state. All efforts to get the boy arrested as at the time of report was unsuccessful. He is still on the run, knowing the gravity of his offence. Some human right lawyers have picked interest in the case.”
