Police Striped Okada Man Naked For Contravening Lagos Traffic Law

The last time I criticized Governor Oshiomhole of Edo State for his out-of-the-line leadership of the State, I was almost eaten up. Perhaps, it has become a norm amongst ACN leaders to rule in a dictatorial manner. Now, a motor-cycle rider was given ALUU treatment in Lagos state for allegedly violating the new Lagos State traffic law inspired by Goveror Fashola.

An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said the victim was caught while riding at the junction of University Road and St. Finbarr’s College Road in Akoka.

He stated that the man was plying the route oblivious that plain-clothes policemen had laid ambush in a van with registration number NPF9544B, in the area.

The eyewitness said immediately the policemen saw the Okada rider, they pounced on him, beat him up and later stripped him naked.

They continued the attack, as the Okada man was struggling to cover his nakedness. He should have been killed by the law enforcement officers, but the intervention of Nigerians around, who were videoing and taking pictures of the Naked Okada man, ensured that the officer stopped their attack.

We are appealing to the Lagos state Commissioner of Police and the State Governor to ensure that these rogue officers are arrested and prosecuted.

Even in Lagos, the so-called hub of Nigeria commercialization with high relation to civilization has yet again displayed barbarism in enforcing law. This is a wake-up call to the Nigeria government; it is high time we start seeing true persecution of officers who bastardized the law. Dismissing the Officer of the ALUU MASSACRE isn’t enough, government must brace-up and face this issue squarely otherwise jungle justice might automatically become a potent problem.
