Hundeyin also said that the Alausa Police Division had on Monday, deployed its officers to Makinde Odewale Street, Oregun, Ikeja, after it received numerous complaints on the alleged ‘flagrant abuse of hard drugs’.

”The police officers, however, met stiff resistance leading to serious injury to one Inspector of police, who was stabbed in the head with a broken bottle.

”The resisted suspects also assaulted the Olu of Alausa and the CDA Chairman. The injured Inspector has since been hospitalised,” he said.
