Fear of your car being auctioned at Alausa will make people start doing crazy and unimaginable things to escape! It could have being worse.
The Govt needs to review that law.

Nairalandian:
I've even seen a lotta Military and Olopa Vehicles driving one way.

akinluyi02:
Another major concern is the way the other officer drop if gun on the road while trying to arrest the driver unprofessionally.. Naija with madness

9jaRealist:

Such a LAWLESS nation...
Government is often LAWLESS, citizens just as LAWLESS - they deserve each other!

A nation of ANYHOWNESS where impunity reigns...
Whether the rich or the poor, seemingly everyone lives by the philosophy of “my own is different”!

somehow:


Why all these when you can save yourself unnecessary wahala by obeying the law?

Elxandre:

Stop peddling falsehood.
We've seen silly people and traffic offenders being chased around America for several minutes or hours. Why weren't they shot dead?

lekki1444:
Theey were white. if they were black they would be dead

Elxandre:

Some were black.

pixey:

I guess you won't understand until you become a convict.

Nightalan:

It's always easy to pass judgment when you've never been a victim. There are so many streets in Lagos, especially in the suburban areas without a single sign.
There's one in Gbagada, close to Grace High School, there's a police station right at the beginning of the street, in fact it's the first building, but there's no single signage that the street is One-Way. Instead the policemen will rather hide and sit under the tree beside a kiosk waiting for unsuspecting drivers new to the area to apprehend and extort. It's a norm in many parts of Lagos. So get off your high horse!

peeps4u:


I have broken traffic rule before, got stopped and paid fines.
Nothing spiritual about what happened. He got himself in the mess by attempting to turn and run on that busy road. It has nothing to do with village people.

sunnyside16:
That suv is gone.................LSG will auction it

FROGMAN101:


Are you so naive to observe the gun fell off the policeman that went off the bridge

aryzgreat:
The barbaric Lagos state traffic law of auctioning vehicles caught breaking laws must have prompted the man to resist n try to escape.

Laws should have human face. serious fines and not outright forfeiture should suffice, if not things like this will continue to happen

lekki1444:
bros please just keep quiet and stop disgracing your father and mother. in any civilized first world country that man will be dead by now. a bullet to the head by the police.

somehow:


You see them!

So to say the right thing means passing judgment?
You think we all can't break laws?
This una attitudes won't make this country good at all.

If he mistakenly broke the law, a law-abiding person won't try to run away, but I believe you don't understand that aspect.

It takes a law breaker to want to run away after committing an offense.

yeye dey smell.

Tetehjewels:


You seem not to understand. They were even lenient on the guy. If this was abroad, deadly force would have been used because they became authorized to use that the moment the guy used the car as a deadly weapon.

He would have been shot dead inside the car with the glass unbroken. However they chose to spare his life and attempted to break the glass instead.

In law enforcement, deadly force is permitted the moment you are threatened with a deadly weapon such as a 2 ton SUV.

awoo47:
lol, na 2day we dey watch car chase?
they may have gun drawn, but they don't shoot
infact some states lyk California has laws which police must keep a distance in a car chase to safeguard others

catching a criminal isn't better dan losing an innocent life in d process

post=99403073:


First and foremost, what a lucky escape for the cop.
Assuming his head hit the concrete part, d head for just burst scatter, but luckily he fell straight into the water..

And for the pot belly law-breaker, he will surely face the consequences of his action.
Luckily he escaped the charges for manslaughter already.

Some Lagosians/Nigerians are the most stubborn people on the face of earth.
They are preventing and protecting people from dying, but some heady and stubborn animals are here putting people's life in jeopardy.
Be the CHANGE you wanna see... periodt!


We know you have been so used to breaking laws offline and online.
Breaking laws is now a norm to you and here you are justifying foolishness and incredulity.
Not everyone is like you, you know.
But continue, dem no dey telli person.
One day na one day......

PotatoSalad:

Since your mother and father couldn't send you to a civilized first world, You're judging based on what you've seen in Hollywood movies from your mum's basement

Nightalan:

No one is holding brief for anyone deliberately caught breaking the law, but when the people enforcing the law are making it impossible for it to be obeyed simply because they want to extort and prey on you, you will understand it's not always black and white!

BigYash:
Wahala tie wrapper for that man gonnn. See as the man dey cry like woman wen wan cum
The police man was lucky..
