The incident occurred on Saturday, December 31, when the suspects; Olayiwola Basiru, Bamimore Isiaka and Soliu allegedly attempted to kill the policeman and burn the police towing vehicle.

He said the hoodlums wanted to set ablaze the vehicle so as to prevent investigation into the cause of the accident.
