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 argument 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.
