A-20-year-old man, Segun Ogunleye, has appeared before an Abeokuta magistrate court, sitting in Isabo, for attempted murder of a police officer.
The suspect was reported to have attacked one Constable Bolorunduro Mayegun with a cutlass in a bid to evade arrest.
According to the investigating police officer, George Ikhuoria, the injured police officer was on an assignment to arrest the suspect for assaulting his wife.
"The wife and the officer went to the man's house to make the arrest but the accused refused to follow them. On their way back to the station, the accused followed them and suddenly attacked the officer with a cutlass on his forehead and hand", he said.
The prosecution counsel, Banji Sangotokun, told the court that the suspect was facing one count charge which bordered on attempted murder, punishable under Section 320 (1) of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, Nigeria, 2006.
Presiding judge, Anthony Araba, ordered that the accused be remanded in prison for consideration of bail.
