Pic: Police officer
knocks LASTMA official unconscious with his gun…
A
mobile policeman yesterday afternoon attacked three officials of the Lagos
State Traffic Management Authority, LASTMA, and knocked one unconscious
following an argument along Ashabi Cole off Lateef Jakande road Agidingbi in
Ikeja.
Trouble
started when LASTMA officials attempted to tow a vehicle parked in front of a
bank which was causing traffic. The police officers guarding the bank
challenged the LASTMA officials and tried to prevent them from towing the
vehicle which was said to belong to a bank customer. An arguement ensued and
before anyone could stop it, one LASTMA official was rushed to the hospital
after a police man gave him a head butt and smashed the butt of his gun into
his face.
When
other LASTMA officials saw what had happened to their colleague, they turned
the whole scene into a free for all show as both parties started arguing and
fighting.
Head
of LASTMA confirmed the incident and said the unconscious official is receiving
medical attention.
