A video
showing the incident has gone viral on the internet.
The FRSC
spokesperson, Bisi Kazeem, PREMIUM TIMES reported that the on the agency was aware of the video and had summoned the officials.
“Yes, we
have seen it and we have identified the people in the video and they’ve been recalled
for investigation,” Mr. Kazeem said.
“If they are
found guilty, they’ll be sanctioned but there must be investigation first.
“In this
technology days, everything has to be properly investigated, but we will leave
no stone unturned if eventually they are found guilty.”
The video
showed a female officer struggling with the driver while the car was in motion.
The video was recorded by the passenger sitting next to the driver.
The
passenger in the video is heard challenging the FRSC officer: “You call yourself
a safety officer, see what you are doing…is it right?”; to which the officer
answered, “Yes.”
Surprisingly,
she knew the incident was being recorded but did not stop it or hide her
identity.
The driver
is heard telling the passenger to record the video well and get her name on
camera.
While this
was going on, just after the car passed an FRSC van parked by the roadside,
another officer came out and smashed the side glass of the car close to the
person who was sitting in front and recording, forcing both the driver and the
passenger out of the car.
It is not
clear where and when the incident took place.
