BENIN CITY – There was confusion at Obanikoro bus stop, along the Ikorodu expressway in Lagos on Wednesday morning, as a mobile police officer engaged in a fierce battle with some LASTMA officials who were trying to impound his car.
According to an eyewitness report, trouble started when the policeman’s car was blocked by a LASTMA car for taking the BRT lane.
It was gathered that one of the LASTMA officials then left, immediately, to mobilize his colleagues.
However, before they arrived, the policeman had given their colleague left behind, the beating of his life, prompting him to flee. . .
The officer then proceeded to break the glass of the LASTMA car and was trying to remove it from obstructing his car, when the others arrived and another fight began.
While the scuffle was on, some Policemen passing by who saw the number of LASTMA officials against their colleague, attacked the officials and beat them blue black.
Motorists were also seen jubilating and making mockery of the officials been dealt with by the Policemen.
The LASTMA officials were forced to run away when the beating was too much as people around started booing them.
Efforts to get the reaction of LASTMA GM to comment on the incident proved abortive as his phone was switched off when called.
