The incident occurred when the traffic warden was at his point in Abeokuta and flagged down the man driving his Mazda car with number plate BDG 24 CY against the traffic at Iyana Mortuary, but the suspect hit the traffic warden and he(warden)fell on the bonnet of the car.
He said, “The suspect kept on driving for a distance, more than 4km,with the traffic warden on his bonnet, shouting on top of his voice that ‘I will kill you’.
“It took the efforts of the members of the public and other police men on patrol, who were called, to rescue the traffic warden from the man in the Kemta Idi Aba jungle, where he drove into.”

He warned that such acts will no longer be tolerated.
