LAGOS POLICE PRO CLARIFIES ‘MOB ACTION’ ON POLICEMAN
By ‘Leke Yusuf
The Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command. SP Benjamin Hundeyin has made clarifications on an incident whereby a policeman was allegedly beaten into a coma earlier today.
Earlier reports had alleged that law enforcement officers, including an unidentified policeman, were involved in an attempt to seize possession of a certain Yusuf’s vehicle. The encounter took a wrong turn when Yusuf was allegedly forced onto the path of an oncoming BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) bus, resulting in a collision that left him unconscious and gravely injured.
However, Hundeyin in a post on his social media account, gave a different account of the incident.
He wrote “This was a road accident that occurred when a BRT bus hit a minibus that had been stopped by the police for illegally using the BRT lane. The person with the bloodied hand was not shot at all, let alone by the police. The person on the floor is a policeman, but was not beaten to stupor by anyone. They both were victims of the same accident.
“They have been rescued and are currently stable. Beating to stupor takes more than a second. How come there is no video/picture of the beating while it lasted?”
