A danfo bus driver Idris Shittu is currently cooling off at SCID Yaba for allegedly attacking a policeman on duty during the last environmental sanitation exercise in Ketu Lagos.
Seargeant Oluwasogo was part of the JTF security patrol team who caught Shittu violating sanitation laws.
One thing led to the other, Oluwasogo found himself dialoguing with Shittu inside the bus with registration number XX643GX.
He then drove him to a secluded placed in Alapere area of Ketu where he was thoroughly beaten and injured with an iron rod on his left eye and right shoulder.

He is presently receiving treatment at LASUTH, Ikeja.

Greedy Policeman! Apparently, he was negotiating an illegal pecuniary settlement with the bus driver. Serves him right; he suffered for his highly unprofessional conduct. I hope this will serve as a deterrent to his likes in the NPF. The aggressive bus driver should, however, face the full wrath of the law.

you can’t ascertain what the policeman was actually discussing with the bus driver, so you need not draw a negative inference tarnishing the image of the policeman trying to uphold the law #RespectPolice

So the bus driver was caught after his escapade? Sorry is his name. Correct sorry.
Even when you are in the right, the police still succeeds in molesting and harrassing you. Imagin then what becomes your fate when you actually find yourself in the wrong, and not just any wrong, but brutalising a policeman.
This man must get ready to write a book after his experience with the police in this case. He is going to spend all his life savings, and still borrow more money from money lenders because none of his friends would lend him. He is going to foot both the actual bill for the cost of the treatment, and the inflated bill. Trust the police when it comes to this. And all this is aside from the top-notch beating that the police will deliver to him. In the end he will not even dare look at a police uniform that is washed and spread in the sun to dry.

I’m sure the so called policeman did or said something very bad/wrong to the danfo driver which triggered the driver’s anger. Police men are never to be trusted, it is very rare to see a good police that fights for justice in this country. They always turn white to black, and always make their victims pay for their mistakes. Now they have accused the danfo driver of kidnap. Police should stop asking for bribe and accusing people of what they know nothing about so as to attract their victim sleeping in cell/prison just because they refuse to give in to their demands. I hate them!

It is not very difficult to imagine how things could have gotten out of hand and ended up this way, most of the time the officers don’t even know the law that they are supposed to be upholding, they just make it all up as they go, this why government must recruit only graduates whose credentials have been verified; they should give then training on the basic criminal law and traffic laws.Also mandatory psychological checkup to ascertain mental capabilities periodically. They just jump in to your vehicle on any flimsy excuse in other to extort money; they rely on the slow pace at which the justice procedures operate and it is your word against theirs with not tangible means of verifiable evidence and other complications.Also they know that most Nigerians have various issues to deal with on daily basis so the threat of going to police station will make most people give in to their demands.
