Onwu was said to be in mufti when the incident occurred.
He was said to have driven into a nearby filling station in anger, parked, changed into a police uniform and beat the woman into coma.
The incident reportedly happened at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, junction, on IBB

Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, who confirmed the ugly incident, said the Commissioner of Police was unhappy about it and had directed that the matter be thoroughly investigated.
“The woman traffic officer has reported the matter to the CP and he has directed that the matter be thoroughly investigated. The CP was not happy when the woman came with a swollen face. If the allegation is true, I am very sure the CP will know what to do,” Adejobi disclosed.
