Monday, March 10, 2025 - A high-speed police chase along the Gwarinpa-Kubwa service lane on Friday evening ended in a dramatic crash after a suspect attempted to escape—while a police officer was still inside his vehicle.
Police sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident unfolded around
6:00 p.m. when the Crack Squad, led by ASP Segun Ozioma Edene, stopped a Toyota
Venza (GWA 151 BM) during a routine patrol.
Upon searching the car, officers discovered suspected Indian hemp and
other illicit drugs. The driver, Ahmed Abdul, 25, of Harmony Estate, Dawaki,
was instructed to reposition his vehicle, but instead, he sped off with
Inspector Raphael Oghalla trapped inside.
A high-speed pursuit ensued, ending when Abdul lost control and crashed
into a gutter. While the suspect sustained minor injuries, Inspector Oghalla
suffered serious chest wounds and is currently receiving treatment at the
Police Clinic in Area 1, Garki.
Authorities have impounded the damaged vehicle, and Abdul remains in
custody as investigations continue.
