Motorcyclists arrested for death of policeman during raid

A police corporal, Emmanuel Emefiele, has been stabbed to death during a raid on motorcycle riders on the 4th Avenue, FESTAC Town, Lagos State.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the 36-year-old was among a team of policemen from the FESTAC Police Division, who raided the community around 1am on Friday to enforce the state law which forbids riding of motorcycles at ungodly hours.
A mob, consisting of the okada (motorcycle) riders and some hoodlums, was said to have resisted the policemen and in the ensuing scuffle, attacked Emefiele with a knife.
