She said the incident, which was filmed by the operatives, could not identify the law-breaking military officers who fled the scene immediately. Akinpelu said the dispatch riders, Adeyemi Sunday, 35, Udoka Onyebuke, 46 and the street hawker, Chukwuemeka Ukpai, 22 were apprehended and subsequently arraigned before the Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile Court) in Bolade-Oshodi on counts of assault, battery and obstructions of justice.
