suspect hit the traffic warden and he(warden)fell on
the bonnet of the car.
He said, “The suspect kept on driving for a
distance, more than 4km,with the traffic warden on
his bonnet, shouting on top of his voice that ‘I will
kill you’.

and other police men on patrol, who were called, to
rescue the traffic warden from the man in the
Kemta Idi Aba jungle, where he drove into.”

has directed thorough investigation into the matter
and that the suspect be subjected to some medical

to face the full wrath of the law, as such will serve
as deterrent to others who are fond of harassing
and assaulting security agents on duty.
He warned that such acts will no longer be
tolerated.
