Description
A Lagos resident, Tunde Abass, who was arrested for filming police officers allegedly harassing a driver has recounted his experience with the police in Lagos.
Mr Abass was arrested on Sunday by officers attached to Onipanu Division for filming them in operation.
In the video posted on his Facebook account, a police officer was seen harassing the driver of a wine-coloured car.
While making the video, Mr Abass was heard telling the police officer not to harass the man because he has provided necessary documents.
The incident, however, escalated as the police officer was heard referring to the driver as “stupid”.
“You’re trying to intimidate the guy. They’ve burst his tyres. They’re trying to intimidate the guy,” Mr Abass said in the video.
Following his intervention in the matter, Mr Abass was arrested by the officers and detained at Onipanu division.
