A yet-to-be identified
policeman in the Odogunyan area of Ikorodu, Lagos State, is in the eye of the
storm after he was caught on camera fighting with a truck driver and his
friends in the community.
The policeman was seen in the video struggling
with the three men during which his rifle fell off.
One of the men was seen escaping with the rifle
as the policeman later jumped into the truck.
The man recording the
incident was overheard saying repeatedly, “You don’t have sense,” while another
man beside him screamed, “Snap them; run away with the gun. You are a stupid
policeman. You have been caught on camera. You are done for.”
The man recording the drama said, “You are a
fool. You will be sacked. You don’t have sense,” before an observer of the
scene said, “This is the second time he will be doing this. He fought with
another man here sometime ago.”
The resident that posted the video on Facebook,
Mc Gabito D’laffgiva, said the scuffle happened after a disagreement over a
N500 bribe demanded by the policeman from the truck driver.
He said, “The shameless policeman got himself
in a fight because he wanted to collect a N500 bribe from a truck driver
carrying scrap. I am an eyewitness. It happened along Odo Nla Road, Odogunyan.”
D’laffgiva has yet to respond to further
enquiries from our correspondent about the incident as of press time.
However, some commentators on the post queried
him for taking part in the molestation of the policeman.
