Lagos State Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, shared details of the incident on X (formerly Twitter), stating that Idowu refused to comply with the officer at Ojota and went on to physically assault him.
He added that Idowu is currently in custody at the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps office in Oshodi and will be prosecuted under the state’s laws.
Waheb wrote: “Mr Morufudeen Idowu – 52yrs, a Canada returnee, refused arrest and assaulted one of our personnel while crossing the expressway at Ojota.
“He has been taken into custody at Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps office in Oshodi, and will be prosecuted in accordance with the relevant Laws of the State.”
