An officer of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Osun State Command was injured on Friday after a hit-and-run driver evaded arrest over a traffic offence.
It was gathered that the incident occurred via Osun State Government Secretariat, Abere when operatives of the FRSC were on patrol on Friday.
A passer-by named Odebode Shina disclosed that the incident occurred around 9:20 am when the driver of a private Lexus Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) going towards the Ibadan axis was pulled over.
Shina said: “Seems the driver of the vehicle knew he would be booked for one offence or the other, he manoeuvred the patrol team and while doing that he hit an officer of the commission who hung on the bonnet of the car a few meters from the spot he was hit before he fell off.
“The officer was seriously injured as his colleagues chased after the driver of the car.
The FRSC Osun State Commander, Inyang Umoh confirmed the incident, saying, “The officer is in stable condition. We are trying to get him.
