Rufai could have settled this without bringing it on social media. He has brought the attention of the Lagos Govt into his mess.

Nigerian Police should go kill bandits and armed robbers and leave traffic law breakers for FRSC and LASTMA

But danfo and others they pass BRT lane steady. I dey see them everyday. Nigeria na wa oh

I only know Peter Rufai

You broke traffic rule and your claiming right.
It's not the police that need retraining it's you that needs koboko.
If na USA you dey you fit try am?

lol. Relax, he knows the law more than them. And the law is that it's either you pay N70,000 or get arrested.
He wanted to pay but the officer insist on arrest which is rude and uncivil

Rufai Oseni is a journalist with Arise TV, while Ben Hundeyin is the Police Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command.

Na wa oooo!

Who is to blame here?

Na Google Maps?

Here's the problem with the so-called champions of change in Nigeria. In their own corner, they will steal, tell lies, beat traffic light, disobey traffic laws, evade tax, bypass their prepaid meter (energy theft), yet everyday, they heap curses on Buhari, APC, PDP, government officials etc.

Like we were taught in principles of law the higher institution, "he who comes to equity must come with clean hands".

The leaders of Nigeria aren't it's only problem, even the followers and masses are part of the problem!

Donkey he never said he was right. He was only complaining about the pointing of gun on him

Some comments shaaaa.... Anyways We are our own problems in this Country...

Thank God for Abuja abeg. Which one is BRT Lane. You mean i have to pay 70k to use the road? Tufia

I think the point is missed here. Rufai admitted taking the BRT LANE as posited by the Police although his tweet did not confirm that, but what Rufai is trying to tell us is that you do not need to jump infront of the vehicle. In advanced Nations, you will go home and you will receive your ticket via email or Telephone inviting you to appear in court. No police officer will drag your steering wheel with you. We need exposure to understand this. Technology can do this better without police engaging anyone.

am pretty sure.. He didnt give the keys easily or admit his fault civilly to the officers upon arrest.. he probably went down the Nigerian way..till the officers pulled out their guns..

something must infuriate a nigerian officer before he threatens to use his arms..

moreover while will someone of his status commit such offense ..

Google took you to BRT lane

Same way Google could have directed him into the Atlantic ocean!

Where was his common sense!

your the goat here, why on earth would he refuse arrest in the first place. Or you want me to believe that the police immediately pointed gun at him the moment he broke the law as against the fact that he was resisting arrest for before he was pointed gun.
Una no dey ever know when to push sentiment.

Did the man denied the offense No? His only problem was why will a policeman point a gun at an unarmed citizen and take his car keys
Who dose that

ecolime:
Some mumus have started calling him PDP Arise Journalist.

He broke the law and should be punished, but does that mean a gun should be pointed at him?

Na from pointing of gun, misfire dey take happen.

Lets be reasonable please

First of all he didn't mention wat he did wrong...he tried to omit it....how we sure that the police even pointed a gun at him..... Those journalist at Arise TV they don't practice wat they preach.They are so irresponsible.

Look at him yelling, if he were to breach traffic laws in the Uk he wont say a thing.

Most of these OAP and Politicians respect themselves when they go abroad, they enter commuter trains and buses and dont complain about being shoved at, its only in Nigeria you hear them rant.

Rufai no mind them...wetin you dey do dey pain dem

I no lie you, that BRT lane makes driving complicated in Lagos. I never drive whenever I go to Lagos, much too fuckingg complicated.

Do the crime do the time.

But the time is not for police to point a gun at you and drive off with your car.

We know the deal - the police want settlement and don't care about any actual law that was broken

That's the point.
Traffic offence of this nature is not a violent crime that requires forceful enforcement.

free2ryhme:


Ignorance is no excuse under the law and the police need to learn how to behave even enforcing the law even though Nigerians are typically stubborn

Yes, that’s Rufai’s argument. He had broken the law, but that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t be treated with decency. Nigeria police need to do better.

idrismodel:
Nigeria done happen to Rufai. Once you speak the truth and challenge the authority, you automatically become a target

So because you challenge the authority, you have impunity to do what is not right in the eye of the law?? Brov you're a certified DUNCE!!!

ImDStar:
Sorry oo, but Nigeria is an association of majority of foolish people.

Why must you point a gun a someone simply because he committed an offence?

His he an arm robber?

We've make abnormalities become normal in this country, and when you try to educate people that normal human being don't do this, they start abuse.

Check am well. All those knuckleheads slating him on Twitter and on here are bloody Agbadorians.
They're not hard to miss.

Maxymilliano:
Ignorance of the law is not an excuse ...

We like suffering in this country too much.
He admitted to pay the right fee for an offense ,why point a gun and taking over his car?

Why drive his car against his consent when he is not refusing, even if he is .he has no right to gain access to his property without consent. I think there is a judicial precedence called criminal trespass....

SolarCorona:
oseni rufai (rhymes with el nasir rufai).

Sometimes I like him because of his righteous stance.

Sometimes I don't like him because of his self-righteous stance.

But at all times I like Peter Obi.

you guys will soon go back to Biafra or death.

Did Rufai deny breaking the law NO
Was the police right to point gun at him? NO

@bold
Don't worry, breakfast go reach you too.

Mumu Rufai, why break the law and you still complaining, the police guy for give you wan shot for leg.
I wont be surprise if the ediot is complaining of Buhari yet breaking law

Yes, the police is very wrong to point gun at him, let's not forget Nigerians are stubborn and the Rufai might want to resist arrest...Maybe he should have used tazzers instead of pointing gun at him??or what's would have been the solution if hejad resisted arrest Just asking please
