It was a day to forget for some officials of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency as they were physically assaulted by a police officer.
The scene of the incident
There was confusion, this morning, at Obanikoro bus stop, along the Ikorodu expressway in Lagos, 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. In the end, the LASTMA officials were forced to run away.
