Two policemen drown while chasing weed smokers in Oyo

Oparemi Goke and Ogunyemi Mujeeb, two newly recruited Constables of the Durbar Police station in Oyo, and a member of the Discipline Intelligent Group of Nigeria (DIGON) have met their untimely death while chasing weed smokers.

The security operatives drowned around 7:30 pm on Sunday, July 12, 2020, at Awerintu river, Oke Eletu, while chasing the hoodlums who ran towards a bridge washed away by flood.

The policemen had followed one of the hoodlums into the water he jumped into but got swallowed by mud. Their corpses were recovered in the late hours of the same day.
