Irate youths in the early hours of Monday launched attack on a police post located on Olayiwola Close, Oregun area of Ikeja, Lagos State.
The rampaging youths, set it ablaze and injured a policeman on duty.
Although, the motive of the attack is yet to be ascertained.
The policeman who sustained an injury in the head, was rushed to the emergency centre at the toll gate along the Lagos Ibadan Expressway for prompt treatment.
It was learnt that while the station was on fire, officials of the Lagos State Fire Service were contacted and mobilised to the scene to salvage the situation.
The fire was put out but part of the building of the police post was affected. However, no weapon was stolen.
Confirming the attack, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, when contacted, said an investigation into the case had commenced, adding that “no suspect had been arrested.”
However, it could not be confirmed if suspected members of the Yoruba Nation agitators were involved because, two people had been arrested during an attempt to take over the Alausa Police Station in Ikeja on Sunday, a day before the Oregun incident.
