An officer of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) on Sunday was attacked by pedestrian touts at Jakande area in Lekki, Igbere TV reports.

According to an eyewitness, the officer was controlling traffic while the man sitting wanted to cross the road.

It was gathered that the pedestrian approached the officer to stop the vehicles for him to cross the road, a request which was blatantly objected.

The officer whose name is yet to be identified as at press time asked the man to use pedestrian bridge not too far from the spot, Igbere TV learnt.

The man refused to use the pedestrian bridge, threatening the officer, and a lot of altercation came to play.

The man was heard saying officers will soon be chased out of the road just the way police officers were chased out.

It was further gathered that two unknown men joined the pedestrian to attack the officer. The officer ensured he held on to one of them who was later arrested with the help of soldiers.

Anyone caught attacking law enforcement officers should be dealt with

Why are we Yorubas so violent in nature. why should my brothers inflict such injury to our fellow Yoruba man. such a thing will never happen in Igbo land. we should try and emulate our Igbo brothers. they are hardworking and peace loving people. how I wish I'm an Igbo man

E don tey wey them don mean the officer

Maybe e too dey show himself

I don't support violence but it is not everyone that's healthy enough to climb the pedestrian bridge!!!

He approached you kindly, why not help him

These officers need to realize that they are there to serve the people!!!
