Police seek donations for MOPOL officer battling brain injury after on-duty accident

The Nigeria Police Force has initiated a fundraising campaign to assist ASP Oyadele John, a Mobile Police Officer assigned to MOPOL 22 in Ikeja, Lagos. The officer, who was on duty in Osun State, now faces significant medical challenges following an accident on July 5, 2026. Following medical assessment on August 20, 2026, doctors diagnosed Oyadele with a severe neurological condition, characterized by blood present in his brain, resulting in a partial stroke.

Oyadele is currently receiving treatment at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja.

The police disclosed that Oyadele requires a substantial sum of ₦8 million for urgent, life-saving treatment. A police wireless message emphasized that this appeal is a matter of 'Personnel Welfare' requiring immediate attention. Commanding officers have been instructed to spearhead the fundraising effort, ensuring that donations are processed through the authorized channel.

The directive emphasized that all contributions must be documented before the deadline of September 4, 2026, as authorities strive to accumulate the necessary funds for Oyadele's recovery and treatment.
