The Lagos Police Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, shared details on his verified X account, confirming the incident occurred on Wednesday around 10 a.m. near Gowon Estate, Ipaja. The man, a passenger on a motorcycle going against traffic, fled on foot after spotting police officers. He ran through a nearby garage, discarding items from his pockets, and despite warnings about a canal ahead, he jumped in.

The police, surprised by his sudden actions, stopped their vehicle and approached the scene. After some time without locating him, they assumed he had successfully escaped. Hundeyin clarified that the officers did not pursue or interact with the man, who panicked upon seeing them.
