ALLEGED ATTACK OF POLICE TEAM AND KILLING OF POLICE OFFICER IN LAGOS – MOUN CONDEMNS IRATE MOB ACTION
ALLEGED ATTACK OF POLICE TEAM AND KILLING OF POLICE OFFICER IN LAGOS – MOUN CONDEMNS IRATE MOB ACTION
The attention of Motorcycle Operators Union of Nigeria (MOUN), Lagos State Branch has been drawn to an incident that allegedly occurred at an accident scene at WEMPCO Junction, Mobil Road, Agege Lagos in the morning of Saturday, 19th of October 2024 in which a police team came under heavy attack of some commercial motorcyclists, and during which a senior police officer was killed by an irate mob.
The incident, according to media reports, and as confirmed by the Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos State Police Command, occurred following a ramming unto the rear of a goods-laden truck (trailer) by a commercial motorcyclist, resulting in the unfortunate death of that motorcyclist. In the immediate aftermath of that accident, the commercial motorcyclists in the area reportedly massed-up, poised to visiting instantaneous mob justice on the driver of the truck, and the truck itself, by attempting to torch it.
It was further alleged that it was in the attempt by the police team drafted to the scene to prevent that crude retribution and reign of anarchy that the police team came under attack. Sadly, an Assistant Superintendent of Police who led the team was viciously attacked, and he died in the process.
Although the motorcyclists who allegedly perpetrated the fatal attack on the police team and the killed police officer are not registered members of MOUN, and, therefore, MOUN cannot take responsibility for the attack, MOUN, nevertheless, equivocably condemns the attack and the loss of life involved.
As a responsible new union being entrenched in Lagos State, MOUN is totally opposed to resorting to self-help, mob action and jungle justice in seeking to redress real or perceived wrongs of road traffic accidents in general and accidents involving commercial motorcyclists. Whether these accidents occasion injuries requiring orthopedic attention or unfortunately in death or manslaughter.
MOUN is aware that in a motor or motorcycle traffic accident leading to occurrence of injury or death or damage to property, an involved motorcyclist could be the negligent or reckless party. And so, regardless of the party that suffers injury or loss of life in the accident, spontaneous vengeful attack should not be the next action. The logical next action should be provision of immediate medical attention to those who may be injured at the scene of the accident, cooperating with intervening police officers to maintain peace, law, and order, and working with law enforcement to bring about investigation so that justice could be served in the circumstances.
It is for this reason MOUN, in its current engagement with the Lagos State Government, is emphasizing collaboration and self-regulation through unionization. Self-regulation, through unionization, will curb the spontaneity of
MOUN believes that once the Lagos State Government finalizes the ongoing MOUN’s certification for operation in Lagos State, MOUN will be strengthened to comprehensively register its members in Lagos State. It shall provide and operate a digital register of its members, document its members and weed off undocumented foreigners who are plying the trade of motorcycles operation in Lagos State through collaboration with the Immigrations Service, regulate the members effectively, reorientate them, and ensure that the phenomenon of motorcyclists massing up at scenes of motorcycle accidents for the apparent purpose of wild commiseration, and fighting and avenging perceived wrongs done to members is stopped.
MOUN regrets the loss of lives involved in this incident, commiserates with the family of the senior police officer who lost his life, and condoles with the Nigeria Police Force for losing the officer in the line of duty. MOUN, Lagos State Branch shall pay a condolence visit to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Police Command, in due course.
Comrade Raji Rasak
Publicity Secretary,
MOUN, Lagos State Branch.

Oyo 2027: Ajadi Secures Oke-Ogun PDP Backing, Holds Closed-Door Talks with Samuel Adejumobi (Agbarapo)
Oyo 2027: Ajadi Secures Oke-Ogun PDP Backing, Holds Closed-Door Talks with Samuel Adejumobi (Agbarapo)
Stakeholders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Oke-Ogun zone of Oyo State on Tuesday received a leading governorship aspirant, Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, in Saki, pledging political backing for his ambition ahead of the party’s primaries.
The stakeholders’ meeting, held at Saki City Hall, drew party leaders, community figures, and grassroots mobilisers from across the zone, reflecting the growing momentum surrounding Ajadi’s consultations across the state.
Addressing party faithful, Ajadi reiterated his commitment to building on the achievements of the current administration led by Governor Seyi Makinde, noting that continuity and expansion of ongoing projects would form the cornerstone of his policy direction.
“I will leverage the developmental strides of the present administration and ensure that their impact is extended to more communities across the state. Governance must be progressive, not disruptive,” Ajadi stated.
He outlined key areas of focus, including workers’ welfare and pension administration, promising a disciplined financial structure that guarantees prompt salary payments.
“Our workers deserve dignity and certainty. Salaries will be paid on or before the 25th of every month, and our retirees will receive improved attention. A government that neglects its workforce cannot deliver sustainable development,” he added.
Ajadi also disclosed plans for extensive grassroots engagement across all 33 local government areas of the state, aimed at identifying peculiar needs and integrating them into policy formulation.
“This is not just about ambition; it is about understanding the people. I will be embarking on a statewide tour to listen, learn, and design policies that reflect the realities at the grassroots,” he said.
Party leaders and stakeholders from Saki West and the wider Oke-Ogun zone pledged their support for Ajadi, citing his accessibility, philanthropic engagements, and perceived capacity to lead the state. Among those who spoke were Alhaji Rasak Aderele (popularly known as Super), Adeleke Thomas (Baba Elepo), and Hon. Coach Kehinde Adetola, who described him as a unifying figure capable of strengthening the PDP’s electoral chances.
Addressing concerns about internal party dynamics, Ajadi reaffirmed his loyalty to the PDP, dismissing speculation about a possible defection.
“I remain committed to the PDP. This is my party, and I believe in its vision. My focus is on securing the mandate of our members through consultations and consensus-building,” he said.
Shortly after the stakeholders’ engagement, Ajadi proceeded to a closed-door strategic meeting with a fellow PDP gubernatorial aspirant, Samuel Ademola Adejumobi, popularly known as “Agbarapo.”
Adejumobi, a prominent political figure from Atisbo Local Government Area in the Oke-Ogun zone, is a former Majority Leader of the Oyo State House of Assembly and currently serves as Special Adviser on Legislative Matters to Governor Makinde. The meeting, held indoors away from the larger gathering, was seen as part of ongoing consultations and alignment efforts among aspirants within the party.
Observers note that such high-level engagements signal a strategic attempt to foster unity and strengthen internal cohesion ahead of the PDP governorship primaries.
With growing grassroots support and intensified consultations across Oke-Ogun and beyond, Ajadi’s political activities continue to gather pace, positioning him as a formidable contender in the race for the party’s ticket.

Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)
Four Times Primate Ayodele Warned About Resurfacing Of Covid-19 In Nigeria (VIDEOS)
Nigerians have been gripped by fear since the report of the COVID-19 variant in Cross River.
The Cross River State Ministry of Health has begun profiling and tracing individuals in the state who have been in contact with a Chinese national admitted after testing positive for the COVID-19 virus.
Not many people expected this to happen in Nigeria, because since 2020 when the global pandemic happened, there hasn’t been a single case of the virus in the country until yesterday, about five years later.
However, despite the fact that Nigeria was declared Covid-19 free, popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, warned about three times that he foresees the virus coming back to Nigeria.
In his first prophecy regarding it, he warned that Nigerians should not pray to see Lassa fever and Covid-19 coming back in some areas.
“Let’s pray so that we don’t see Lassa Fever again. Let’s pray so that Covid will not come back in some areas”

This wasn’t given attention by many because it felt Nigeria has been immune to the virus. Everyone went about their business as usual, and in the midst of all that, Primate Ayodele warned intensely again.
“Let’s watch this for the World Health Organization, I see airborne disease, Covid in another dimension that can cause cough, cold, air disease, it’s a warning and that’s what the Lord said.”
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9dj5UL5/
This time, he specifically called out the World Health Organization about re-occurrence of Covid; and gave directions regarding how it would happen. He also emphasized that it was what the Lord said, but how many people actually listen?
Again, during a church service, Primate Ayodele warned that Covid is coming and will happen in a different way compared to the previous one. He made it known that the way of contacting it will be different from the previous one.
“Also, Covid is coming, but the way it’s going to come will be different from the way we experienced it that time. The process of contacting it will be different from the previous one.”

Likewise, in his annual prophecy book titled Warnings to the Nations, Primate Ayodele warned that another round of COVID is coming. This book was released in July 2025.
“Another round of COVID will come up, and another disease epidemic. I foresee that a lot of money will be spent, and they will face some challenges in getting things right. The workers of this Body will be attacked, and there will be changes in leadership” (Page 36)
All of these have fulfilled the prophecies of Primate Ayodele. Beyond the prophecy fulfilment, this is a call to relevant authorities to always listen when God is warning them about anything through his prophet.
