Lagos Policeman Caught Assaulting Bus Conductor As Passengers Kick, Condemn Lawlessness
A Lagos police officer has come under fire after a viral video showed him assaulting a commercial bus conductor during a traffic stop along the Ojota–Ketu corridor. Witnesses said the confrontation began when the conductor questioned the officer’s demand for cash, prompting the policeman to drag him out of the vehicle and hit him repeatedly. The incident quickly drew a crowd, and several passengers began recording as they shouted at the officer to stop. Commuters described the scene as chaotic and unnecessary, noting that the conductor posed no threat and had only asked for clarification about the officer’s instructions.
Public reaction was swift and harsh. Passengers at the scene accused the policeman of lawlessness and called for his dismissal, insisting that such behavior had become far too common on Lagos roads. Civil groups monitoring police conduct also weighed in, condemning the assault as a blatant abuse of power and urging the state command to take immediate disciplinary action. By evening, the video had spread widely online, sparking fresh debate over police accountability and the need for stronger oversight within the force.
