The female officers, Omowumi Aliu and Adebisi Bamiu, were said to be on duty around the Isheri Oshun area of the state when they accosted Eshe for going against traffic along the Ikotun-Ijegun road. They apprehended him and attempted to impound his bus and take it to their station.

But the incensed Eshe would not hear of it as he started exchanging words with them, which later escalated to a fisticuff.
