Try this with US police and you are DEAD already.

Which kain wahala be this nah. RRS is now LASTMA?

DonX001:
Unfortunately, we don't know the full story here.
I don't trust police guys when it comes to recording. They may have started recording from the part where it favours the police guys story, and ignored the things the police guys did that triggered that response. And then released that part of the video alone to sleep public opinion.

For example- if a policeman shoots someone or some people senselessly like they do sometimes, and is being beaten by the crowd, and someone starts videoing the situation only from where they are beating the policeman, you would be inclined to side with the policeman just from seeing that part of the video.

Though I'm not holding brief for the guy o.
The guy's action is unacceptable and should not be tolerated on any count, however, something must have likely happened to get them enraged to that extent.
It is not just a regular case of "you pass one way and were stopped by police".
I can hear the guys shouting "you wan kill us", "you've damaged my car", "we've been here since yesterday", etc....so it's obvious something happened that triggered that extent of rage from the 2 boys.

I will like to hear the full story and the guys side of the story before passing judgement.
Cos I don't trust police and their recordings, they can easily manipulate things to suit their narrative and get public sympathy.

Observer007:
For the first time in like forever I'm seeing positive comments about Nigerian Police officers. I commend this particular officer, despite clutching his rifle, was strong enough mentally to restrain himself from using it. Even if he didn't have bullets at the time, he still could have used the butt of the gun to slam the head of his assialant to submission, and still claimed self defence.

IbnBattuta1960:
This guys own done finish.
Driving against traffic.
Causing road obstruction.
Battery of law enforcement personnel.
Probably driving without valid DL.
Tax evasion...
If he is taken to oshodi mobile court, e sure say this guy must go kirikiri.
One way offense is forfeiture of vehicle.
Hnmm

thebosstrevor1:
And na them carry jeep ooh.

Acting like thugs.

Nigerian have no class even if they have money to buy designers clothes, drive nice cars and live in nice houses.


There should be a law that says if you harrass or touch a police officer, you should be given 10 years in jail.

Is it only me that heard "You go loose your JOB"

Or did i hear JOB or Car

Seem as if they just entered Lagos.

Nevertheless, the forfeiture punishment is still too severe

No matter what the reason is, Forfeiture of your Vehicle is wrong.

Banning the person from driving for a time would have been more Logical.

IMO It is Heartless and Wicked to ask someone to forfeit his or her Vehicle due to a traffic offence and more so, sell it.

Corruption itself gradually creeping into our Laws

First, by taking one way, you put others life at risk.

But a female witness says no wrong, that it wasn't so. Was it ever disclosed there was a shooting in the entire sceneria. You are sick in the head for this senseless comment. I said this because NL won't allow me use stronger insult.



The fellow (driver) doesn't admit_ but says even if there is a wrong, that doesn't justify the threat to their lives.
(What threat though? Perhaps before the video recording, perhaps in the apprehension of the culprit.)
He continues to mention this and lividly so, that he physically engages the police. Only someone who has been pushed towards death would be courageous to push back at a Nigerian police officer. The driver keeps asking if it is because of a traffic offence that he should be killed.

The law enforcer shows restrain, but perhaps...it is the sanity that often comes after doing a terrible wrong like shooting at an individual for traffic offense.

Assuming a mute audio, me say - kudos to the RRS official's'. Just doing the job really and goodly that some commendation is deserving.
Hopefully, more information comes in so that better judgment can be made.

You've said almost everything I had in mind, and probably said it better.
Nice analysis!

Carparts888:
Very rare to see this type of coolness and composure from Nigerian police officers, even american cops won't tolerate that level of assault. Those guys deserve to be punished for the assault but Lagos government please ease that law, it's too severe.. What will happen to people that are not familiar with Lagos state terrain? so their vehicles would go like that for not knowing Lagos roads?

brosom:
Look at what inpatient impatience/lack of control has caused this one,

This one no be village ppl but him himself.

Now his car will be auctioned!!

Two wrongs Don't make a right.

The after effects of all these are harsh chaos everywhere.
