The incident occurred in April 2024 while the officers were performing their duties on the Oye-Ifaki road.
Abdullahi was charged with assaulting the officers, violating Section 187 of the Ekiti State Criminal Law (2021).
However, given his status as a first-time offender and his apology to the FRSC, the court offered him an option of paying a fine of N5,000 instead of serving jail time.
