Meantime eye witnesses said the Police man and his colleague allegedly flagged down a suspected Yahoo boy in his porch car on Iwo road, Ibadan at 5:45pm on Friday evening

However, speaking with the Yahoo boy, he (the Yahoo boy) allegedly sped off with one of the Policeman dragging his steering, a situation that resulted in the car losing control and crushing the Police man to death.

Eye witnesses said the painful death was avoidable. “What the Policeman would have done was take the number of the vehicle. There was no need for the desperation on the part of the Policeman.
