A 52-year-old man who recently returned from Canada has been sentenced to three months in prison after attacking an official of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, commonly known as KAI.
The incident happened in Ojota, Lagos, when the man, identified as Morufudeen Idowu, tried to cross the expressway illegally.
A KAI officer approached him to stop the unlawful act, which goes against Lagos State’s rules requiring pedestrians to use footbridges.
Instead of complying, Idowu became aggressive and physically attacked the officer.
