A high-speed police chase along the Gwarinpa-Kubwa service lane on Friday evening ended in chaos when a fleeing suspect crashed his vehicle — with a police officer still inside.
Police sources told Zagazola Makama that the incident unfolded around 6:00 p.m. when the Crack Squad, led by ASP Segun Ozioma Edene, stopped a Toyota Venza (GWA 151 BM) during a routine patrol.
Upon searching the car, officers discovered suspected Indian hemp and other illicit drugs. The driver, Ahmed Abdul, 25, of Harmony Estate, Dawaki, was instructed to reposition his vehicle, but instead, he sped off with Inspector Raphael Oghalla trapped inside.
A high-speed pursuit ensued, ending when Abdul lost control and crashed into a gutter. While the suspect sustained minor injuries, Inspector Oghalla suffered serious chest wounds and is currently receiving treatment at the Police Clinic in Area 1, Garki.
Authorities have impounded the damaged vehicle, and Abdul remains in custody as investigations continue.
