The

, Mr. Olajide Oduyoye, has said that the Commissioner for Justice in Lagos State, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo has directed that a man, named Emmanuel Ben who led the assault on a LASTMA Officer, Ismaila Lukman,...

at the Jakande Junction in Lekki while on his lawful duty around 2.20pm on Sunday 8th November, 2020 be made to face the full wrath of the law for the assault to serve as deterrent to others with similar motives

According to Lukman, he was on his beat at Jakande Junction controlling traffic manually owing to the destruction of the traffic signal light during the last protest hijacked by hoodlums when Ben approached him asking that traffic be stopped for him to cross...

...even with the presence of pedestrian bridge nearby which the LASTMA officer said he should avail himself of. He then proceeded to step into the carriageway in front of moving traffic causing disruption to traffic flow.

Lukman then asked him to leave the road and stop disturbing his work.
An eye witness said that Ben thereafter threatened that LASTMA officials would be chased off the road like the police and attacked Lukman hitting him on his head...

...with a weapon that seems to be a metal, causing serious laceration resulting in flow of blood, Ben was joined in the officer’s assault by two passersby who are currently at large while Ben was arrested with the help of the military patrol and...

police around the area, he’s currently at the Ilasan Police Station for prosecution at the earliest possible time.

If you recall, @gm_lastma was similarly assaulted resulting in injuries to him along this corridor at that same Jakande area at the end of June this year.

Oduyoye vows that LASTMA will not shy away or be cowed into submission from carrying out its lawful duties, no matter the intimidation and promised that anyone caught assaulting LASTMA officers henceforth would be made to face the music under the Law.

He said that for there to be free flow of traffic in the Lagos metropolis as set out in the ‘THEMES’ agenda of Mr. Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, with transportation and traffic management representing the first T,...

...we must all have a change of mindset to obey the traffic law as amended in 2018 by the Lagos State House of Assembly and that anybody who refuses to obey those traffic laws should be ready to face the consequences as stated in the Law.

He further advised that road users should come to terms with the fact that
@followlastma
was constituted by the Law which has conferred some responsibilities on the agency and also on the road users...

...who are expected to carry out their own responsibilities for there to be harmony and peace on Lagos roads.

That man must be dealt with ..it is wrong to assault law enforcement no matter what

Watch as some mumu will start shouting dt this man is an innocent Nigeria youth.Nigeria followers are even worse than their leaders

Something about the blood on his head gives mixed feelings.

Another innocent youth arrested by the wicked army. He has the right to use whatever roads he like. We are giving the government 24 hours to release him or we shut down Lagos with another big protest. We will not take it.

Thank God police no dey kuku collect money for bail again any miscreant caught this time must b charged to court and sentenced to prison

That man might be innocent, he probably went there to do ofofo

good one, imagine strolling in Lagos without seeing law enforcement officers, even to hold your charger is risky, let alone going with your phone or money too bad if officers are off the street! despite that I don't like the way Nigeria security personnel are doing at times, I would crawl through a broken bottle and fight whoever attacked the peaceful one!

God protect me and my family

As I was saying

The head is Babylon

The chest and arms of silver is Persia and medes

The belly and thighs of bronze is Greece and Rome

Note the 'and'


Biblical explanation of a kingdom and city means
Kingdom - a certain tribe
City - diversity of different tribe


The leg of iron and the feet of iron and clay
Great Britain and...
Daniel 2:43.. the people will be a mixture, just as iron and clay
Daniel 7:7... And it had ten horns
Revelation 17:12 the ten horns you saw are ten kings, who have not received a kingdom but will for one hour received authority as king for one hour with the beast.

The leg of iron and it's feet partly iron and clay
So it's Great Britain and ten other countries

Angry Ben must be related to the HULK and loves chaos.
Protesters were peaceful and not destructive.
Angry Ben must face the wrath of the law.
We are civilized people.
