Peter Rufai's Car Bashed By American Embassy Officials Who Pursued Him by Explorers(m): 10:08am On Nov 01, 2017
Former Nigeria international, Peter Rufai has raised an alarm over his encounter with some security officials of the American Embassy in Lagos last week.

According to the former Nigeria goalkeeper, he was returning from a party organised by a family member in the early hours of Tuesday, October 24 when he drove past a stationary American Embassy armoured SUV near Alaka bus stop, in Surulere area of Lagos.

The moment I drove past them, they started pursuing me, from Alaka I went through under the stadium bridge through Adeniran Ogunsanya then to the Bode Thomas Police station where I stopped for my safety and to lay a complaint.

“As they were pursuing me, they kept bashing the side of my car, like what we see in the movies.

I became afraid of my life because I did not know who the occupants were.”

“I want them to be punished for them to know that what they did was wrong,”Rufai said.

According to police sources, the American Embassy officials accused Rufai of brushing them and when they flagged him down, he failed to stop.

“That resulted in the chase.” the source said.

The Public Relations Officer of the Bode Thomas Police Station, Olaride Famous Cole confirmed the incident to Vanguard saying, “there was a minor traffic matter involving Peter Rufai and officials of the Embassy but the Divisional Police Officer was ready to settle the two parties amicably.

Saying this because you are alive. If they had killed you they would have labelled you a suspected terrorist and that it was an error. Be grateful instead. You know they won't do them anything. A legend you are, though.

Peter Rufai, better defend yourself. Buhari doesn't know anyone else unless you are from Daura.

Also watch how you move about at odd hours

Becos they used American embassy vehicle does not mean they have to take laws into their hands

If the case were opposite in their country they would have arrested the diplomat in the process citing their law as being superior

Na the useless country called Nigeria caused all this nonsense when we don't have regards for our own laws

Who are American Embassy officials that are pursuing innocent civilians lipsrsealed
The jurisdiction covered by international laws is the embassy at Walter Carrington Victoria Island and other similar locations ...
To have crossed VI to Alake and intimidate civilians are is totally unacceptable.
Abeg wetin be Trump twitter handle sef angry angry

There must be public apologies to the citizens of the Nigeria ..

Anyway, a two year multiple entry tourist visit to Peter Rufai and his family to any city (not prone to tornado and thunderstorms) would not be bad sha grin grin grin grin

Someone is trying to do the right thing and this is your version of support. Nigeria go better, not with this kind of mindset.

They would have beaten him and even shot right there in that Police Station and would then call him suspected terrorist if not that the policemen on duty recognized him.
4 Americans were killed in Niger close to our border last week and they have not told us what they were doing there except the usual claim of 'fighting terrorism', America operate illegally on Syrian territory and kill Syrians, destroyed totally the city of Raqqa and called it 'liberation' from ISIS.
Those US guys dont obey international law, so thinking that the embassy staff will be punished is perhaps wishful thinking
